Hidden power inverter

[demesauce]

Had this idea about adding a power inverter where my aux tank gas cap used to be. Original post on is the NorCal Broncos site, check it out:

Cool idea, but I think I'd want my install a little cleaner than a glob of black goo.

The "black goo" is to help keep everything waterproof. Everything is watertight, and the only person who will see the goo is me.

I thought of something similar (haven't gotten to it yet), but instead of for power, as an air source instead. Instead of having the plug in there, it would be a quick disconnect air port for whatever air needs you have....

I use an inverter all the time. It's a great way to keep beer cold when camping. And no, it doesn't kill my battery. I have 2 batteries and use an isolator.

I can think of a lot of utility reasons for having the plug easily accessible to the outside too. Don't mind having one inside, which is where mine way, but think using the gas door is a great idea.
And the air chuck too! Now you're going to have to have a multi-purpose door there with air, power, and hot water for good measure!
