Electronics and Wiring
The old Shore Power charger 01.
The old Shore Power charger 02. I opted for an Iota unit with a smart controller for Gel batteries. I also picked up a Lithium controller because I knew I would be upgrading shortly.
The Iota charger, Progressive EMS-HW30C are mounted behind the Shore Panel breaker box on Aluminum panels.
The Iota DLS-55 Amp Shore Power Charger and Air Conditioning wiring (shore power) 01.
The Iota DLS-55 Amp Shore Power Charger and Air Conditioning wiring (shore power) 02.
The Iota DLS-55 Amp Shore Power Charger and Air Conditioning wiring (shore power) 03.
The Air Conditioning wiring (shore power) secured.

I decided to go with the hardwired Progressive EMS-HW30C unit 01.
Progressive EMS-HW30C unit 02.
Progressive EMS-HW30C unit 03.
Progressive EMS-HW30C unit 04.
Progressive EMS-HW30C unit 05.
Progressive EMS-HW30C unit 06. The enclosure washer assembly was an upgrade that I found on YouTube.
Internal Progressive EMS-HW30C 07. I used ferrules on all connections where applicable.
Initial mapping out of the Electrical dashboard 01.

Umbilical's feeding the breakers in the battery area for Charger, Fuse, Inverter and Solar circuits 01. Custom panel to house Anderson connectors. There are cables that are enclosed in a fixed umbilical going up into the Dashboard area but they are Cat6 or 3 conductor power cords used for heavier circuits. I put all the critical circuits into the Anderson Connector panel and manual connect/disconnect when setting up or breaking down to minimize stress and prevent any potential shorting. Orange connector is the Charging circuit from a Shore Power connection which I rarely use.
Umbilical's feeding the breakers in the battery area for Charger, Fuse, Inverter and Solar circuits 02. Upper mounting connectors are color coded (male/female) to the lower connector when you order.
Spare 3D printed Anderson connector mounting plates that are inside the cabinet area out of site along with spare Starlink mount adapter inserts that I carry with me.
This is the Anderson connector STL image of the mount I found on thingyverse.
Very early on sketch of what I wanted to do.
There's a few changes/additions even to this version.
I wire listed cables into a spreadsheet and made labels. You can see some of these coming out of the Fuse Panel on the Dashboard.

I ordered a 45 amp charger but the supplier sent me a 55 amp unit

DLS-55 12V 55A Power Converter
IQ-AGM IQ4 Smart Controller - Tailored Absorption Charging for AGM Batteries (had a Gel battery at the time)
IQ-LIFEPO IQ4 Smart Controller - for Lithium-Iron Batteries with BMS (upgraded to Battleborn 100AH Qty. 2)
Progressive Industries
I also wanted a hard wired EMS-HW30C RV Surge & Electrical Protector as opposed to the portable RV Park post type.
Dashboard
I wanted to be able to turn on just about everything manually as well as having a LED indicator that it was ON.
