Question Adding wiring hole in firewall - placement?

Need to add a wiring hole in firewall, on the passenger side. Any suggestions for placement?

It needs to be at least 1" in diameter. No Air Conditioning to deal with. Will have to be added with all components in place. Cables for a DC to AC inverter are being installed.

I took out the glove compartment, and see that the Camper Special wiring is in the easy places. Looks like a tight fit from inside the cab.
Known good spots only please!

Thanks, Kevin.

Have a correctly sized body plug before proceeding.... eyeball a spot and drill a 1/8-inch pilot hole. All clear? Bore a hole. Done.
