Hardwiring a Power Inverter

Hey all!

Hope everyone is doing well in the midst of this mess we're in (especially in the U.S.).

I'm looking to start making some small to moderate mods to my car since it's officially paid off and out of warranty *fanfare* and one of the things i want to do is put a small but permanent power inverter in so I can charge my computer/camera batteries, etc. when I'm on the road for days at a time. BUT... I want to hardwire it so I'm not using one of my power points in the car whenever it's plugged in.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

If so what was the result?

Thanks in advance!

One way to hardwire is to find a fuse position that is either always hot or hot when the car is in the Accessory or On positions. I do not recall at the moment which fuse position it is, but if you have a diagram it should be easy to find. I have used the Add-a-fuse taps from Amazon. Ours are the low-profile version.

Hmm. I might have to give that a shot.

What do you have tapped in?
