Upgrading power inverter

Has anybody upgraded the inverter inside their truck? I'm wondering if it's possible to do and still retain the 110 outlets in the dash and center console.

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but I did a search and saw nothing.

All the inverters I've seen have the outlets in the chassis of the device. If you're any good with electronics it wouldn't be hard to open one up and run the wires to the existing outlets in the dash and console.

There are current considerations on both the current going to the inverter and the current going to pre-positioned outlets.





just like in your house...you could start a fire with undersized wiring and outlets.
