Don't beat yourself up on the installation. I bet there was virtually nothing mentioned in the inverter literature about what we're talking about here. Everything I found on inverters conveniently left out input amperage.
Wait till you try attaching #2 wire to the inverter. Chances are the terminals aren't big enough.
Just how important is this vacuum?? Cookie crumbs you say? How 'bout a SCUBA tank to inflate the dink? I used to drive south of Ensenada with a group to dive and that's what we did, brought an extra tank to blow up the Zodiac, topped it off with the foot pump.
