When do we get to see the battery box and solar panel set up?......as if you haven't been busy with the build so far....LOL!
I still have to build the solar panel mounting frame. I have been concentrating on the inside electrical, which includes fitting the Magnum MSH4024M inverter/charger, Midnite Classic 150 MPPT solar charge controller, and all of the required breakers, switches and fuses in a space no bigger than a 19 inch TV. It is tight but looks good. For our use the Magnum doesn't even get warm or have the fan come on (during 40 amp absorption charging the transformer temp never got above 110F and during a 30 min run of the air conditioner the FETs never got above 90F). I will of course post pics when I am done.

Wiil you build the box so the gen can be run in the box?
Yes, that is the plan. We may make a slide out device that holds the gen in the box so to have easy access for cranking/oil change. I just need to source some slides that can handle grit and grime.
