Please Review my Inverter and Charger Install

Hi Forum Techies!
I'm not new to RVing but after reading a lot more on dry camping I decide to procure a Xantrex 1220 charger and ProSeries PSI-1500 Inverter in my new Dutchmen 2780RBSL trailer. I'm hoping for a quality assurance review on the work and advise if anyone thinks this homemade result of Googling and YouTubeing is solid. Two pics, from slightly different views:



As you can probably see the mains, with the protective wrap emerge inside my forward pass through (but are not yet attached)to the battery bank. Positive is through an 80AMP fuse and then to a Fossgate buss bar one each, positive and negative. Each positive leg then flows to switches one each for the appliances. Both are grounded, as is the whole contraption on 4Ga wire.

Thoughts?

    ONLY because if there is a problem and you tell someone to turn off 'X'..... If it was me and I didn't understand how to follow wires, I would shut off the switch closest to the device.

  • Nice job.. -A-

    If I were to critique anything, I would flip the switches so they are next to what they are controlling.
