Lots of opinions as we hope/expect here at RV.net
I for one always mount the solar controller out of sight, very close to the battery. No heavy wires and no inside space taken up by the controller. Nice to have a simple completely hidden cat5 cable and a useful display over the entry door. The ethernet "N" Wireless router interfaced to the MPPT 60 controller additionally reduces the need for wires.
As 12thgenusa, I use heavy loads during the day the Trimetric data is almost meaningless for daytime loads. The TS-RM2 display gets used as much or more than the Trimetric for this very reason
Enjoy your new display
Just a thought
The MS meter bus system is full of data
Have you looked at the MS "Relay Driver"?
Wired mine for proactive hi/low Voltage/Temperature warnings and alarms, it drives LED's and Sonalerts
If things happen it will get your attention
