Hey Jon I'm going solar and was wondering where you placed the DC to DC charger. I've got a 10 Amp Victron and a 5.0 TA. I suspect the AC/DC distribution panels would be similar. I'll have two 100 amp Battleborns with a Victron solar controller and the Progressive Dynamics for the AC/DC converter charger. Thank jn

Mine is physically located under the driver's side rear sea next tot the disconnect switch.

As to electrical placement, the input is the charge line from the tow vehicle, and the output goes to the battery side of the disconnect switch. I added a wire from the battery side of the disconnect back to the front of the trailer to power the tongue jack & breakaway switch. I don't know if a 5th wheel has a breakaway switch, but if it does, the DC to DC converter is a one way device so Escape's standard method of wiring it to the charge line would be a problem.
