I just ordered a new 2025 GD Reflection 260rd and plan to DIY install a GoPower IC-3000 inverter. I've read some posts & manuals and watched some youtube and feel I can handle the job.
One question I had was where others who have done this mounted the inverter? Everything battery related is currently in the front compartment and I was intending to mount it on the wall or the floor in there (probably the floor given this thing weighs 50 lbs). That is, if I ignore this statement in the GoPower installation manual:
"PROXIMITY TO BATTERY BANK
The Inverter/Charger should be located as close to the batteries as possible but not within the same compartment. The length and size
of the DC Cables will affect performance. Long DC wires tend to lose efficiency and reduce the overall performance of the Inverter/
Charger. Use the DC cables recommended on page 20."
Do folks just ignore this, or do you actually mount them in the pass through compartment?
As long as I'm asking questions, has anyone fished the wire for the remote control unit into the inside of the RV? Any tips on how you did that?
thanks in advance for any replies!
