Most Volvo owners have mounted their electrical components in the
baggage compartment. We put the trailing wiring converter and the
inverter/charger in a box under the refrigerator located in the
cabinet behind the driver. We had the spare space because of the
refrigerator size and this leaves the baggage compartment space
available. The box gave me a lot of space to do the
trailer and
headache rack cabinet wiring.

To help seal the entry of cabling through the cab floor into the
Electrical Compartment, We used these electrical conduit junction
boxes. The extended collar had a short piece of conduit added and
inserted into a hole cut in the floor. When the wiring is finished,
the lower end opening will be sealed with silicon caulk.

This is the face of the Electrical Compartment. Through the vent
area on the left you can see the

AC Wiring. |

Here you can see how the Electrical Compartment sits under the
refrigerator under the Sink Drawer. This is the compartment just
behind the driver. |
