Retrofit / Upgrade Domestic Plug Socket
Next mod, the Domestic Plug socket - inverter is only capable till 180w. Not very useful except charging some devices.
So out with the old one and upgrade to an 12v 1500w Pure Sinus Wave inverter.
Location in my case under the loadspace in my Hardtop / Commercial.

Next power supply, this inverter can take up to 100 amps.
So I had to make made new 50mm2 / 0 awg Power cables of 4.5 ft. direct on the Battery after the BMS.

First testing with the remote on/off - monitoring display

Finish with a new Domestic Plug Socket ( Schuko in Europe) , the look will be almost like stock.

So a lot better prepared now for overlanding, or just lunch with coffee Very Happy

( Total costs of this project £ 275,- ) No Mud flaps for my 90.!

That's some fine work you've done there, and all invisible.

Great use of the under floor storage area for the inverter.

That’s a nice set up. Also neat idea for the compressor. Thumbs Up Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

Have you done anything to your battery / charging set up or will you only run the invertor with the engine running?

For now I'am running the Inverter only shortly for coffee or my electrical inflatable matrass.
I have to find out in the morning if there is some juice left after a night of running the ARB fridge.
So maybe the Inverter needs a short startup and idle for powering the Nespresso coffeemaker
Planning is second battery in the future but that is expensive with all the charging and control devices needed. No Mud flaps for my 90.!

I suspect running the fridge all night of your main battery will definitely flatten your battery.
