Mounting solar charge controller - 25RKS
Hi all. I have decided to add solar to my TT for this summer. I am looking for some advice on where/how to mount the electronics. I have a 2010 25RKS. I want to put everything (charge controller, disconnect, fuses, small inverter) in the front pass-through storage compartment to be close to the batteries. I figured I would mount everything to a piece of 3/8 plywood and do whatever wiring I can, then mount the whole thing inside the compartment and connect to batteries, etc. Here's my question: I could put everything on the side of the compartment that shares a bulkhead with the under-bed storage (nice little vertical wall, visible supports, etc), or I could mount it on the inside of the trailer front wall (angled wall, covered like an interior wall, behind the diamond plate). I would like to go the second route to get as close to the batteries as possible, but I'm not sure what is between that wall and the outer skin/diamond plate, don't know what I have to mount to. Haven't looked around with a stud finder or anything. Anyone have any experience or advice on this?
