Is the bed next to your pass-through? Maybe make a box under the bed that connects to the pass-through?

All connected, just need to build a false wall now. I am thinking about plexiglass across the top. The MP, MP DC Switch and Watchdog will have cutouts in a thin carpeted wall.

Watched a video a while back on best free video editors. I eill have to see if I can find it again.

Thank you for following. I will post more details. Also trying to create a video. Need to download some editing software.

Thank you for all the info. I just moved the 200lb beast into the camper and starting to wire everything. I plan on testing and keeping an eye on the terminals for heat and voltage loss. I have a small wire brush that I cleaned the terminal and washers with.

Looks great. I had looked at the same box.

Orderd copper flat bar on eBay and 2 Blue Sea terminals from Amazon. I drilled the flat bar to work with my cable rings. I also upgraded the bus bar in the 6 way MEGA holder. older.

Any suggestions on type of anti-corrosion?

Thanks. The nuts and washers are stainless. Not sure on the stud itself. The base is aluminum. My neighbor has a machine shop and made me some aluminum washers to go under the bus bars and connect terminals to give a little more surface area. I have seen all kinks of mixed opinions on...

Installed the Bus bars, positive cables and BMS units connected to the negatives.

Here is how the box goes together. 1. Empty box. 2. Side view. 3. Corner view. Can see the extended bottom which will hold it down when slid in place like a drawer. 4. Cells in box. 5. Boards inserted to hold down on cells. Notches to hold BMS board in place. 6. BMS board in place. 7. Boards...

Would love to, but I don't think my current job would allow me the time to do it. It would have to be evenings and weekend, so it would take me a while to complete.

I learned this after the fact. Through I would be fine as the Victron Distributer and Powen in is setup for MEGA fuses. The BMS units have short circuit protection, but I don't want to rely on them. I plan to chang it out.

Mounted the board with all the components in the RV. Test fitted the battery box. Now to put all the cells in the battery box, connect the bus bars and BMS units. Then I will need to connect the DC loads and mount the inverter/charger. Then connect the DC to it and wire up the AC side.

Added a few more components. Took the old lead acid batteries out. I had to change a little of the existing wiring. Removed extra and bypassed the old disconnect. The landing gear for the 5th wheel and a couple other items are on a seperate system than the DC fuse panel. All wiring for it is...
