Al, where did you end up mounting your AC inverter?

Mine is mounted under the driver;s side rear seat.

 

[heyok]

Looks good. I did the same with mine, only it's under the passenger side of the rear seat.

I also put in a small inverter under the message center with an AC outlet near the 12 volt power outlet in the passenger footwell.

 

[aldive]

Very nice looking install.

 

[heyok]

Thank you.
