Anyone have one installed? not just plugged into to the cig lighter, actually hard wired? My dad has one he wants installed in his 98. Came out of an old work van, its quite large as he needed it to power stuff while out in the boonies for work.

I will also be installing wiring for his winch setup. Gonna run a couple disconnects with that, disconnect from battery and the winch itself. His winch goes on his trailer (its removable) Where do you have all your wiring for that as he wants to keep it all protected.

I had a medium size unit hard wired in my '76 RamCharger. I ran 8 Ga wire to it, and made sure it had a good chassis ground.

I don't recall the wattage on it, that's the primary driver on wire size.

I just did one see some info here:

http://www.ramforum.com/f49/planning-some-interior-mods-9925/

I haven't quite finished it as I plan to put an outlet in the dash and that's not done yet. As I have saved/unused vacation I'm off for the rest of the year when added to the holidays so hopefully I'll finish.

Haven't used it yet but with the kids and electronics I'm hoping our upcoming 14 hour road trip everything will stay powered up. :)
