Aloha from Jackson Hole!
I'm going to have Jackson Hole FWC professionally put in a solar system for me.
I've got a 2017 Fleet side dinette, which means the batteries are in a cramped space in the bench underneath the foot of the bed.
I'll be installing a 160 watt Overland flexible panel (very efficient). Getting rid of 12 v. Exide gel mats and subbing in two 6 volters. Accouterments will be the new Victron BatteryProtect 12/24V-65A, Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor, and the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 Solar Charge Controller 100V 30A with Bluetooth . A dream system. OUCH, this will involve changing wiring from Zamp friendly to Victron ready.
DAMN, that Victron controller is BIG (130X186X70 mm). And heavy (1.3 kg). From discussions here, I know the controller should be "as close as possible to the batteries." I loathe placing it on the backrest of the bench. Perhaps the vertical wall in front of the batteries? Or perhaps moving it a few feet left next to the water/terrible battery monitor currently in place? (where the Victron BMV will go?; is that close enough to be Zen?
Where have you mounted your Victron stuff? Are you happy? What would you do differently? Pictures appreciated.
Thankx!
