Trimetric Install With an Enclosed Underbelly?

I have a Sunset Trail 26BH that I'm considering putting a Trimetric meter in. http://www.bogartengineering.com/products/TriMetric I'm not sure how to wire it back from the shunt to the monitor ...

I don't think there is any significant difference between Vicron and Trimetric. Cost of Vicron BMV 600S is $165 and Trimetric 2025RV $169 probably less for the 2020.

I recommend the 2025RV because it can monitor a second battery or solar source. Even if you don't have that now it could be a useful future feature. Twisted pairs is optional depending upon your installation.

How about running the wire in AC vents, walls, ceiling or on the roof?
