I would recommend it. They may recommend placing it under the hood like @metprevious truck because of the size of the wire needed to support 50A over that distance. I'm mounting mine in the bed but have a separate battery i built to power it.
Didn't think of that either. I read the single highest peak pull is 38A, so I'd hook it to a 40A switch. 8ga wire I read. I'll ask them. I'd really like to have it in the bed.
I'm inclined to do it, but I'm also very short of time. It would take me likely 5 times as long plus troubleshooting, and I just don't have the time for that. Someone knowledgeable will do it in a couple of hours. I'm considering asking them to do the dash cam also, I assume they would do that if they do a compressor. Again, just to save time.
I used 4ga on my previous trucks (I also over-engineer everything) and will do the same when I connect both batteries. I'm trying to figure out the wiring harness and a common ground, currently.
I wonder if you could hook it up to power from the generator, if so then you could mount it right there on the built rite racks and just run the wire there? Just a thought.
I realize that most are 12 volt, but I also have seen conversions done on some with success, not an electrician, but may talk to a buddy just to get his take on it. There are a couple of decent 120v portable compressors on the market, not quite as much cfm as an arb but close, I may chose that route and just mount it right at the generator plug in. If I do I'll post more info.
Really, run the bed to the 12V feed for the inverter in the back seat. It's an isolated alternator
I'm in the same boat. Working in construction I've seen some shit, and I know the potential Danger behind it too much - I prefer not to mess with anything above low voltage wiring.
