seems like a lot of work just to keep from having to run a 200,000 foot extention cord.

In picture 8, is that your refrigerator vent or what?  I assume you are running the wire to your controller inside the coach.  Do you then run wires from the controller directly to the batteries?  In my case, it is a long way to the batteries. (tongue of trailer).  Would it be ok to run the wires from the controller to the wires on the converter?  (which in turn go to the batteries).  That would only be about a 6\' run of wire.  If I have to go all the way to the batteries, it would be much further.  Thanks.  Danny.
