Why not shorten up the 6 gauge wires and mount the inverter into the cabinet. Run from there with your 120v out and add a outlet or two or more throughout the camper where you need power? Even though you are not running big loads shortening the low voltage wires will improve efficiency.
I would also ditch those wing nuts on your battery terminal. They loosen with time. Or you could loctite them.
There's 2 feet extra wire. The resistance is so small in that length, not going to worry about it. Never yet had trouble with the wingnuts. Having the ability to position the inverter where needed is good. Most of the time though, it will reside in its cabinet. Used it to run the laptop and charge a phone this AM. The new solar panel had the system bringing in 8.1 amps. Very happy with it!
