Getting ready to mount the Magnum MS2012 in place of a dead Dimensions 2000. My Dimensions was in the upper left corner of the electrical bay. The connections were toward the door. Reading the manual for the new unit, it appears that is not a valid mounting direction.

That leaves mounting horizontally the other direction with the connections toward the center of the RV or vertically with the connections at the bottom. I know lots of people on the board have done this conversion, which way did you mount yours?

Thanks!

Jay,
This is certainly up to you, it's your coach. But, if you look at the pic below, you'll see that, when I mounted my slightly used Magnum ME2012 in the same EXACT SPOT as my Dimensions 2000 watt was in, the Magnum is also mounted in a vertical position. It has been in that position now for about 7-8 years and, about 45-50K miles and is still working flawlessly. Your choice.

Can you hang it from the roof of the area? My Magnum is that way. As was the Xantrex it replaced.

Thanks all for the ideas. I am going to make up some cardboard templates and see what works best. I have three different ways from three people. Not sure which way I will go yet.
