It might not be necessary to run wires to the battery for your monitor to work.

If you pick up the battery voltage say at the panel for example that should be fine. For battery current measurements it would be useful to know what make and model batt monitor you have.

I've done a battery upgrade on my 2021.5 195 and want to run battery monitor wires monitor from the wall inside the door (across from the fridge) back to the battery.  Want to keep the gauges all together.  My unit has corrugated plastic on the under carriage and I'm aware of what a pain it is to remove it (previous fix on the water tank hose) so looking for some wiring advice.  Any thoughts on how to run the battery monitor wires?  Wall, side, ceiling, snake it down to the top of the corrugated, etc.?  I'm thinking that my solar controller already has its wires from this location back to the battery but not sure their path back.  Just need some advice on a possible approach with minimal removal of the underside corrugated.
