Larry,
Most 12v to 110v inverters I know of require negative ground.

Subject: Bugeye Group..... 1967 Austin A60 Pickup
Gents,
I recently bought a 1967 Austin A60 Pickup from New Zealand that I will be
picking up this weekend at the port in Baltimore to drive home.
Since this truck was first purchased in February of 1967 by a guy in New
Zealand, I believe it was most likely built in 1966 and would probably be a
positive ground system. My intention is to wire up a cig lighter socket to
the 12 volt system and then plug in a 110 volt inverter to power my laptop
with GPS on the way home.
Is there any problem with using a positive ground 12v supply to the inverter
vs a negative ground? I'm thinking not, but I don't know much about
inverters and the 12v DC to 110v AC process.
As always, TIA for your help.
