I have my new charge controller and the new battery is coming early this week. So, ... I'm trying to figure out where to put the charge controller in my 2017 Fleet (front dinette).
One promising location is the back wall of the cabinet directly above the battery bay.
I'm not sure what the material on the back of that cabinet is (except that it's not wood), so I'm not sure how to mount something to it. I'm almost wondering whether I should mount it to a thin piece of plywood and glue that to the back wall of the cabinet with 3M VHB tape.
I could also mount it to the cabinet wall on the right side of the photo, but it'd be harder to see the indicator lights and wire connections.
Another possible location would be the back side of the cabinet door for accessing the turnbuckle under the kitchen cabinet. It'd actually be pretty tidy there, easy to access, and not obstructing a useful storage cabinet, but that space isn't technically inside the camper so it might be a bad idea from a standpoint of weather protection (the camper will rarely be off the back of our truck, though).
