Escape 21 - locating solar and battery monitors
We are working on our Escape 21 build sheet and I received a pdf drawing (attached) showing the standard location of outlets, monitors, etc. I see they are putting their Solar Panel Monitor low on the side wall of the PS dinette seat instead of up high above the fridge. I plan to install my own solar system including a panel monitor (likely a Victron MPPT Control) and a battery monitor (Victron BMV-700) and want then somewhere more convenient and up high near eye level. Both of these mount in 2in dia holes and I plan to ask Escape to run my cables for these monitors. I will supply the proper cables.
Is there a convenient place to mount these in the 21? If I choose to put them above the fridge, do I need to remove the fridge for the install? Any other location ideas?
Thanks Much
