    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Modified kitchen cabinet

    Having the cabinet apart I also installed a standard 110V power outlet. The inverter is installed below the battery separator. The switch to turn the inverter on and off is right next to the furnace control. I really like your kitchen table mods and that will be on my must do list. :thumb: I...

    This thread is way too short, so let me ask a bunch of questions! I have a Vector 1000 Watt Inverter that I plan on installing in my ATC Cougar. The ONLY reason I bought this inverter is because I got a heck of a discount where I work part-time (lots of blue and yellow). The Vector manual...

    Marc, I was looking at pictures on the ATC site and I came across this picture of your setup. How do you like the mounting location of the Hi-Lift jack? Is yours the 60" All-Cast? What other options do you have... Loc-Rac? Off-Road Base? Lift-Mate? Sorry for so many questions. :o Mike

    I had some (ignorant) problems with installation. It took me about five minutes to find it and mine was right in my face as I lay under the dash. Another DUH!!

    I just had this picture of you forgetting to wash the pot, showering and being stained blue from the left over berry juice. Maybe I need a new avatar. But the set up sounds pretty good, should hold a lot of hot water. I plan on using a cheap pump so we can use stream water for canning. Mike
