    I'll have to test it with my jackery next time. I don't think it turned off on me last trip so it must draw enough to keep the inverter on. If it does shut off I will try your method.

    I made a fuse block support and mounted a Blue Sea Safety Hub 100 to it. I liked the Safety Hub for it's water tightness.

    Then I had already run a bundle of wires when I installed my tailgate solenoid, so I used one of my 8 gauge and connected it to the fuse block. Then I looked for a place to mount the Blue Sea Power panel.

    I didn't like the idea of losing the use of the storage boxes so I mounted it on the left side of the box close to the tailgate for easy access.
