Hello All, I am new to wander the west and am installing a 200W grape solar panel, victron 75/15 mppt, and 712 bmv monitor into my 2005 eagle, which is pre-wired for solar. There is an sae plug on the roof and I can see the wires coming in, coiled behind the front pop-up panel, going into the side paneling on the drivers side, and I believe terminating under the sink. My house battery is on the passenger side under the roll over couch. The wires do not appear to go to the battery
Question: should I cut the wires after they come into the roof and then splice in a section that I can run behind the pop-up panel and then down towards the battery? I want the controller next to the battery and would prefer the monitor on the drivers side near the thermostat but might be easier to keep it closer to the battery on the passenger side. I don't know where to run the wires, unsure if I should remove paneling, or need to drill some holes.
Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated. I have seen an older posts of Vic's with the controllers, shunt, etc mounted to a plywood board which I think I will also do.
Best,
Ryan
