The attached pics are from the system I created for my popup camper. I moved one of the roof bike rack rails ahead so that when I mounted the solar panels to them, they'd be away from the roof vent.
To insert the solar system power, I cut the wires from the existing Power Converter to the camper circuits and connected spade terminals to the wires. I then connected spade terminals to the wires coming from the solar system dc panel fuse panel. This basically allowed it to function as a manual transfer switch and allowed me to return the camper to the stock layout when I went to sell it (which I subsequently did after using the camper for a couple years).
All the components fit nicely in one of the benches, the battleborn LiFePo4 battery layed on its side on a dense foam pad, underneath the solar components.
For safety and security, I installed difficult to access latches and other measures to ensure it would be extremely difficult for anyone other than me to access the system.
