I think I have the same inverter you used. B&D 400W. Thanks Dave,

Mine has an automatic shutoff to protect against draining the battery too far. If I have mine turned off it does not seem to draw any power ( i have not stuck a voltmeter on it) and I have never had a dead battery from it in well over 1 year of use.

I am going to install something like this on my van. A friend of mine who is an auto mechanic cautioned me that the inverter will continue to draw power from the battery even when the inverter is off. He thought the car battery would be continually going dead from this type of install. Do you find this is the case? Thanks. Great video.
