Quick run down. I went with Victron equipment. 5kw Quattro, Cerbo GX, 70 touch screen, Lynx distributor and shunt and finally 250/70 controller. 6 455watt panels up top that I received a helping hand with neighbor and his fork lift. K2 rail with stainless hardware. I used hidden panel mounts at the fronts of panels as well as standard hold downs for added security against wind loads. Panels are divided into three as parallel. The wiring will go into some UV resistant something or other and secured down. Haven't gotten to that yet. CB antenna was removed to make room for panels up front. I intentionally left space in the mid section in case I must add roof air. One would handle the bathroom area and the other over the kitchen. For batteries, I have 3 48v server batteries with the intention of adding another 3 for extended run times. I repurposed the old satellite wiring and spliced in a cat 6 wire and 12v power for some future roof mounted internet thingamabob. Last but not least, there is a 48v to 12v 130 amp buck converter to handle our largely intense 12v house loads. I should mention I installed a new sub panel to handle inverted loads. Coach originally had 4 120v circuits wire crimped together going to the inverter with no option to shut off individually. This reared its ugly head when our inverter failed 10 hours into our 3 week trip. Had no power. Generator still has random fits of not starting unless I hold the fuel solenoid in by hand. Haven't figured out what's wrong with that.

Replaced manual pull out shore power cord reel and installed a new powered retracting reel. cleaned up compartment. Red wire is temporary as it supplied power to house circuits from 12v power supply that's plugged in.
