Land Yacht XL395 wiring/electrical

I'm helping a friend upgrade TV/Video/Audion on his XL395 with a build date of November 2000 and have a few questions for the community


1) Is there an inverter? If so, where would it be located?


2) Is there a channel to run wiring along the passenger side from the battery compartment to the front of the vehicle?


3) Are there channels in the ceiling? (for running HDMI primarily)



In the event I need to add an inverter I was thinking of locating it one of the compartments forward of the battery array. I am conscious of the fact that the inverter should be situated near the batteries along with needing to upsize the gauge as it gets further away. For what it's worth I used to own a custom car audio shop many years ago so I know a bit about 12 volt (just enough to be dangerous).


Thanks!

How did this work out? I am sure you figured out that the inverter lives in the battery bay

If it's there I can't find it. All I can see inside the compartment are four batteries. The pull out tray only has the RV batteries and the vehicle batteries are fixed, next to the tray (on the forward side of the vehicle). Please let me know if I'm missing something hidden in plain sight. Thanks

Sorry, you are right, it's the one RIGHT NEXT to the battery bay, on the left, the most rearward bay. I spent the day looking for a photograph but I appear to have screwed up my pics pretty bad...

I was just at the RV yesterday, but I keep it at our cabin 130 miles to the east
