This is what the primary DC distribution looks like in my RV battery compartment. The battery is connected to the bus bar on the bottom. The heavy DC loads (like front jacks) are connected to that bus through auto-reset breakers.
May I suggest replacing that plastic circuit breaker holder with
this style available here:
The plastic ones have the very bad characteristic of insulating one terminal on the breaker, forcing the current to flow through the threads from the nut to the stud. This can be trouble-prone. The metal one allows the connectors on both terminals to properly seat against the shoulder of the stud on the breaker. I had a similar setup on my motorhome, and found some of the breakers were barely sound structurally (partly from age but I think partly from the heat/connection issues). The metal bracket is a bit wider and I think a hair taller; the spacing of the breakers is the same, but the mounting ears spread out a bit more.
