There is some room that I can run the wire without having to completely tear the bottom of the camper off, but I got to be able to get a snake around the bathtub. Gonna have me some fun! (NOT!)
If a 20A system would work, you could look at the MS SS 20 Generation 3 multistage controller. It is approved for hazardous/outdoor locations and could be placed very close to the batteries. If you had AGMs, you could double sided tape it to the battery!
The SS model only does ambient temp comp so I use the SS 10 Gen 2 screwed to the inside of my AGM battery box.
