Time to share my install. I borrowed the format from jbeletti's post which I found clear and concise. There are more details on my build log.
OVERVIEW
RV Layout and component locations. The only space consumed that was usable before the install is for the batteries at the bottom of the bedroom closet.
Schematic of devices and wiring
The original distribution panel was upgraded to a single 50a main breaker to leverage the power assist in the Multiplus. A change over switch was installed to allow power to flow to and from the inverter or to bypass it. The breakers by the change over switch is a disconnect for DC going to the panel and the fridge.
Panels mounted 4x 415w Trina Mono
Roof entry (pre lap sealant)
Hacked up the shelf above the fireplace to mount the display panel for the VenusOS display. I also added two 12v outlets for phone chargers.
The inverter, solar charge controller, bus bars and wiring are all installed in the dead space behind the fireplace/entertainment center.
Solar panel wiring from the roof with fuses and bus bars.
