BFL, sorry for the transposition, I spent too much time on the Budget Light Forum.
My 5er is probably similar to yours, a compartment up front with propane on one side and batteries on the other. Storage compartment behind a metal/wood wall.
I put a hole in the wall and mounted the inverter up on the roof of the storage compartment. Until I saw your picture I was planning on putting the Solar Controller on the storage compartment side of the wall.
The propane/battery compartment has openings in the floor and a side vent for the batteries. There was a battery box with a vent pipe that went away when I put new batteries in replacing the factory issue.
Hmmm... have to think about all that.

You could put the controller beside the inverter and run short wires to the inverter's terminals so the controller shares the inverter's wires from the battery.
However, you do want to be able to see and operate the controller without having to crawl into the crawl space. Also the controller is to be mounted vertically so air can flow behind it from bottom up.
Jim, I got to hate my 27s which were so hard to get their SGs back to baseline. Love my 6s!
