6.  The cutoff signal for shifting out of park was decided to be taken from the vehicle computer instead of the neutral safety switch  A high impedance device needs to be inserted for charge evaluation to limit the current to the relay  Two fuses need to be inserted ◦ One for the battery ◦ One for the signal from the starter relay  The inverter is to be mounted as close to the battery as possible, inside the cab Ultimate Tailgate Prototype6

7.  A “cigarette lighter” type outlet is to be put in the tailgate along with the outlets  The on/off switch is to be hardwired from the inputs to the tailgate Ultimate Tailgate Prototype7
