Your ebay panel looks pretty neat... Would like to hear about how well it all works for you.
I went rather cheap with my DC Monitor panel setup. I have around $60 tied up into my install. The meters was the cheap part of the cost... It has two SURE Electronics (EBAY CHINA) Digital Dc Voltmeters 7-30VDC and a +/- 75AMPS DC Current (Hall Effect) Meter.
I mounted these three meters in a LOWES Electrical junction box and used a 3-gang specialty switch panel.. All of my items are installed out of sight and are routed back to the battery switch area in 3/4-inch pvc flex conduit.
Meter Panel Looks like this
The SURE ELECTRONICs digital meters are Model ME-SP230 and Model ME-SP038...
My meter panel is wired into my battery bank system like this. All of the wiring that feeds the remoted panel is protected with a 1AMP fuse. Using the HALL EFFECT donut allows me to not have high current carrying wiring up into my trailer area.
The only thing I really wished I had was an adjustable alarm setup when my DC VOLTAGE drops below 12.0VDC to alert me when my batteries are getting close to their 50% charge state.
