It is not a good idea to "back feed" (which you are really not doing)
The way my trailer is setup is hard for me to tie into the batteries without drilling holes through the roof. Unless I drop down in the kitchen area which also contains my breaker / fuse panel. I don't plan on back feeding through the panel just tie in to the wires feeding the panel. My under belly of the trailer is sealed since it has the cold weather package so getting wires back up to the front of the trailer has numerous obstacles. I feel like this will be the cleanest way to install. The loss of power shouldn't be a issue, currently we only need to charge the batteries every 3 days with the generator. Hopefully the 2 100w panels can keep up with that even with the loss of power in the lines.
Thoughts?
I had a similar problem with my kitchen at the rear and batteries at the front. I ending up running down the bath room grey tank vent, cut a hole in the side of the vent pipe inside the basement and straight to the battery compartment. I used an electrician snake to pull the cable down from the roof. Then gorilla tape over the new hole in the vent pipe to seal it.
