Cable routing - conduit fittings?
I'm humbly asking advice from electricians and other DIY/reno etc people here. Installed solar controller on the bedroom wall next to night-table. Didn't want it there, but with limited through-sto...

No problem attaching Liquidtight to the box, they have proprietary connectors.
The problem I've been trying to solve, was to have a conduit AND a strain relief fitting on the box at the same time. Still don't know how, - other than leaving conduit loose at the box entry.
Westend, what is EXN?
And, conduit to controller would NOT go through the "floor". It's cables to Pos loads and cable to frame that go out through the trailer storage floor - probably through $2 electrical box on the floor.
Cables from breakers box to controller go up through the storage ceiling up into the bedroom. Storage ceiling is the bedroom night-table, see photo below. Bundle of wires at controller bottom are the wires coming from breakers in storage space below through the hole in night-table (aka storage ceiling in the earlier photos). Wires hanging from above are from solar panel. After the photo was made, I've opened 1" knock-out at the controller bottom, and clipped solar wire to the cab bottom above.
It's bad enough having the controller brick on bedroom wall, and I'm trying to avoid having any conduit there. Will try Wiremold duct in bedroom, though it's still ugly. Ideally, controller belongs in the storage next to breakers box, but it's too tight unless I evict the batteries from storage space to the outside OEM perch. Maybe I will.

Get rid of that blue fitting and use another like you have on the bottom of the box in the picture.Grey fitting at the bottom is a cable grip - strain relief, not a conduit fitting. Would like to keep this grip, but don't know how to connect any conduit to it.
