Location of a +12V wire at rear seats/trunk for inverter?

Choosing to go the external route works, and is a hell of a lot easier to do.

Of course it is up to you. I just tossed out a viable solution to help you along.

I understand, that is why i said "no flame intended". However, i just don't see it as a neat solution myself

In Europe when a trailerhitch is installed, most of the time the power for lights and stuff is just leeched from the rearlights. And if you need a wire from the battery (for a powered coolingbox/subwoofer/trailer) in the trunk, it is run underneath the carpet along the interior :)

I just returned from holiday and used the inverter quite often. It is so nice to have mains power (230V) available to, for example, charge my laptop, DSLR-battery and even my electric toothbrush No fiddling with 12V converters specific for each device, just plug it in like at home. I have a inverter with a pure sine wave, so every device is working happily with it. In the past i had a inverter with a modified square 'wave', but not all devices liked that, some chargers would make weird buzzing noises and got hotter than while used at home.
