DIY copper bus bar

CA Traveler makes a really good point in how you decide where and when you place your battery bank. One more important point is to remove points of ignition from close proximity to off gassing batteries. Many place their invertors within close proximity to their FWC battery banks. Often in the storage cabinets under their Motorhomes.

In my case, I have my battery bank completely isolated physically enclosing (all 4 sides) and providing distance. Being a fulltimer I build everything on the road, as shown in the below picture of building my coffin (batter bank enclosure) One thing I learned, the off gassing of the FWC dissolved the wood glue and corroded the finishing nails I used in assembling my cabinet. Coming back and using screws was the solution I should have done at the onset.
