I hadn't seen this battery monitor before...

I've seen lots of 12v battery monitor installations on the boards, but this little IZTOSS monitor was different and caught my eye:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's waterproof, multicolored, and sips power. The voltage range is 5v-30v. It's nice and bright but the footprint is small enough to easily fit in my control center, where it's covered unless I want to open the door and take a look. Besides looking good, it's far more accurate than the standard issue multipurpose battery/tank monitor Jayco installed in my trailer. Just one more inexpensive yet valuable modification for boondocking peace of mind. BTW, in person it's much clearer and legible than in this poorly lit picture.

Did you just hook it up to some existing wires in the panel or run a new wire to the battery?

Just grabbed power from existing wires - it barely draws any power itself. Checked readings at the battery with a meter and they were identical to this little unit in the control panel.
