I had the same thoughts about the inverter mounting location. Would seem to make more sense to tuck it out of the way somewhere in the cab.
Still, a good concept overall.
One of the worst things in working with DC, direct current, is line loss. Whether smaller gauge wire or distance. The best thing you can do with an inverter is place it as close to your DC source, the battery, and run longer AC lines. One tenth the required amps travels down your wire once inverted from DC, and a smaller gauge can be used, 14 or 16 gauge.
I live in an RV and have my Xpower 1750 connected to the batteries with three feet of 1/0 cable. It’s approximately 1/2 inch of stranded copper wire.
