OK looking top down on the rig. I think my best bet would be weatherproof box on the left rear of the roof then down thru the closed that's across the back of the coach. I'f I'm facing the back wall from the bedroom The washer/dryer is on te bottom right corner and the TV is just above.
Note that the battery bank, all 4 6 volt batteries, as well as the converter is on te left rear corner of the coach. So, from the roof's left rear corner down thru the roof into the corner of the closet, to the controller then BIG wires down to the battery bank. I think I would have no more that 10 feet between the controller and batteries so I should use the larges guage possible correct?
I'm wondering if I should mount the controller on bedroom wall just outside the closet. Not sure how much heat could build up if I had the closet doors closed during a hot sunny day.
I see the Morningstar has an ethernet port for monitoring. I could tie into my internal network & use ethernet for monitoring.
Ideas, suggestions?
