Safety Note:

When connecting wires, make sure they are firmly secured and insulated properly. It is also important to follow all safety guidelines printed on both your inverter and truck camper for proper installation.

Finally:

  • Install fuses and circuit breakers according to manufacturer specifications.
  • Test your newly installed system by plugging in a few items such as a laptop or phone charger before turning it on.
