Inverter Install

I installed a 1500W Inverter [max 150A] in my 24 ft class C. The only two adequate locations for the inverter were either under the passenger front seat, or under the refrigerator above the wheel-well of the coach. The inverter location MUST be dry. My batteries are under the steps.
I elected above the wheel-well. This required 8ft of 1/0 Gage [+/-] wire back to the batteries. I ran them behind the cabinets. A waterproof 250A circuit breaker was used. Choose an Inverter that has remote on/off capability.
As to the cable used, if you need more than 4ft length of each line, I recommend welding cable. It is fine strand and very efficient. I bought mine on Ebay.
Since then, I have installed four AC circuits from the Inverter: TV above the cab, Beside the stove for the coffee pot, By the dinette, and at the base of the elevated bed.
I am pleased with the outcome.
