Hey There,
I recently purchased one of the new Noco Genius 10 battery maintainer/charger. I have a hawk shell with a propane heater, fan and lights so not a ton of battery consumption. However, the truck and camper often sit for weeks at a time over the winter so I thought wiring up a battery monitor would be beneficial. Even more so with the current travel restrictions in place due to CV19.
I'm trying to figure out how best to mount the system, and I see two realistic options that don't require leaving the camper door open.
The benefit of option one is that the Noco Genius is locked up safe and sound in the camper, but requires me drilling a 2 inch hole on the side of the camper.
Potential option two doesn't require any drilling, but the Genius 10 would have to remain outside of the camper and available for theft.
I'm open to any other suggestion as well. I'm a complete newbie on most things electrical. Appreciate any thoughts.

- Drill a hole somewhere on the camper and mount a Noco AC port
- Potentially use the Noco SAE adapter and plug in directly to the Zamp Solar port.
