That neg from battery to frame needs to be changed to go to the outer end of the shunt along with all the other negs. Only thing from battery neg is one fat (or double thinner) wire(s) to the inner end of the shunt.
I had shunt wired in series in positive line. Is that wrong?
The shunt outer end can't hold all those negs, so you need a neg buss bar to hold a bunch of negs, then a fat wire from the neg buss to the outer end of the shunt.
Still not sure why/where negative goes to the shunt?
Double #2 short wire is huge. Can't see any point in going fatter single. Just have to reduce the ends anyway to fit the inverter and converter terminals. Vector 2000w (4000w surge) inverter specifies a wiring kit of twin #4 three feet long. Twin #2 is way more than that. Holy cow. The inverter is 1800, less than 2000.
Surge capability is 2800 watts. I was designing for that. I'm also wrong on that?
Of course if you have a run of much more than 3 feet distance, say over 6 ft (one way) you would have to go fatter wire.
The inverter is going to have to go into the front storage area, so out of bottom of battery box, under front and up through floor to inverter.
The PD9270 should fit in the box, so it will be closer. I was estimating worst case- if both have to go into the front storage pass through area.
