My van was supposed to come with the 220v power supply, but somehow it didn't. So i got the dealer to order me the parts needed so i can install it.
I had to obtain the part numbers i needed cause the parts guy had no idea what an inverter is and how to find it in microcat.
So yesterday i picked up the parts and i got to install them today. I was afraid that the plug with the main loom wouldn't be there so it was sort of a gamble but i got lucky and the plug was there in the drivers seat base.
The base to which the handbrake attaches too had to be different but i didn't know that, but i modified the transformer a bit by removing a part from it and it fit barely. Also the cover that covers the handbrake mechanism had to be modified a bit but after a few hours i managed to put everything in place and have it working.

For a lot less time, effort, and money you can get a lot more wattage.
Dealer paid for the parts, so apart from 4 hours of my life to install it, it is essentially free.
For now i wouldn't want to splice any harnesses due to warranty. In the future maybe i'll add another better inverter.

Not trying to be snide here, but if you go to Amazon and search inverter you'll find 100 options that will provide more current and wire into the battery post on the side of the seat or plug into the power port or both. 150 watts is weak. I was tempted to order that option. Then I thought about what I couldn't do with the limited output and decided against it. If you are already OK with spending Ford money for the bits, splurge on a sign wave model that will run anything within it's output capacity.
