This is awesome. I definitely learned a lot. Appreciate you posting this stuff! Just to confirm, the power inverter is for something else or do you need it just to power the cameras?
All cameras are 12v so they run off of the battery, inverter is pretty much for any 110v accessory
Ok, here it goes 2ND part. INVERTER INSTALLATION.

I wonder why GM didn't put a 110V outlet in the rear on these like they did with the minivans. Same with a hose and pressure gauge off the compressor to fill the tires, bicycle tires, balls, etc. That being said, the Hybird portable air compressor we keep in the truck does have the adapters for filling footballs and pool toys and such.
New models have the outlet now, but in back of center console...
with this said, it would be nice, but for my needs I rather do my own, I know I can run a full size fridge on my set up, if you know what I mean

How big is your invertor?
2000 watts continuous power, 4000 watts peak power, Modified Sine Wave.

What is the sine wave do/doesn't do? I've been wanting a power inverter for my work van.
Modified its cheaper than pure sine, pure sine is same power as you have home, so some home appliances might not run on modified, there is much more to it, but I am not the ideal person to explain lol

I had an Inverter installed in my work truck at a 2 way shop. They used a relay for the power line. i think this way the box wont come on w/o the Ignition... I wanted to see the way they did it but the wires are pretty well hidden. Was the relay hard to wire in?
I have connected to existing switch in the unit.

Are you serious about that ground? I feel like I must've misunderstood something because you seem to know your stuff electrically everywhere else, including doing the multiple batteries, Big 3 upgrade, etc. But that ground for the inverter...
for some reason inverters on board remote switch doesn't work without external ground just the way manufacture wired in, and I am doing 3 way switch on that, on the other hand more ground points win win
going under the truck with wires.

I thought you were grounding the inverter on the battery lug with that tiny wire instead of the 0 gauge.
Looking back at your other pic, I see that there's a small ground lug and that's what you attached it to. The pic in post #61 looks like you grounded it on that main lug. It's just the angle of the pic. Carry on!
