Wiring Power Inverter
First off this is a great site I have learned a lot before ordering my van. I just picked it up, a 04 e-350 extended with a 6.0 psd. So fare it is a great truck. My ? is I want to hard wire a Vector 750w power inverter into the rear cab so I can recharge my cordless tool batt.This van has 2 batteries mounted on pass side frame rail.Where should I make my tap-in, The directions say to use 6 ga wire and a 75 watt fuse. Any help would be greatful.

I wired a 400W inverter in my econoline for my PS2 and my LCD. Its very easy. Run 4g wire (red) from the Positive + battery in the rear to the Red Post on the inverter. Then run the same 4g wire (black) and ground it on the vans chassis no longer then a couple of feet. Use the 4g instead of the 6g because you won't have any power handling problems. Its better to have a bigger gauge to carry the load especially for something like tools etc.

if you are placing the unit at the back of the van using the higher gauge will help lower voltage loss.
