When you say easy for a diy is it really easy. Dh knows some elctrical stuff but not much in a trailer. To what is it installed in the trailer? This looks good and easy to use once installed.
WHEN IN DOUBT, CALL A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. However, the point where the device is install does not directly affect the 120v/12v dual system. The Progressive is install directly into the 120v plug (think house wiring) before it gets to that tricky RV system.
Finding a location to put it can be the hardest part. You have to find out which cuppy-hole inside the trailer holds the plug when you stow it (push it into the trailer). If you have a removable plug, there is still a similar guage wire running between that plug and the inverter.
For me, I had plenty of space behind the inverter, which happened to be under the closet. I removed the cloest "floor", install Progressive behind inverter, ran the display to a spot above the inverter.
You can see below that I cut main wire coming into trailer, screwed progessive to floor where I cut the wire, clamped both sides into the box... white/white, black/black, green/green (screwed to box). Not overly difficult. That mess of wires outside the PROGESSIVE, as well as the system within the PROGRESSIVE, is never touched in order to install the box. There are youtube videos explaining the install.
If a plumber puts something in loose, the leak shows up instantly. If an electician has a loose wire....you find out when the FIRE starts.
WHEN IN DOUBT, CALL A PROFESSIONAL.
