PHASE -1 Upgrade
These are pics of my first steps in upgrading my 2008 Chevy Roadtrek 170 Popular.
RT170 Electrical Distribution Panel
hyhr POWERLINE ISOLATOR
POWERLINE ISOLATOR Undoo Mechanic Mod
10 OLD AND NEW IN POSITION
11 NOTCHED BRACKET TO POSITION AND SUPPORT WHILE MOUNTING
All new dashboard switches installed, and operational
start battery monitor 
eBay purchase 
One worked very well onboard for 5 years, so good experience.
side post extenders Useful for adding "extra" connections to battery post - like a lead for a shunt.
room temp test Ops tested the difference between a "pill sensor" and a Balmar Lug sensor.  Balmar is a 30 foot lead too.
The Blue Sea ML-ACR installed in same location as the RT Isolator
BASEMENT LITHIUMS 
Used CAD to sort out placement and work to add "lightness"
04 BackSide of Toggle  power  switches 
This switch powers the 2 battery monitors.  The "T" fitting is unique and lets you add connections...
03 BLUE SEA ACR Cockpit Switch installed 
Ops check on our first outing.  Then dug into the dash to add more instrumentation and control.
02 BLUE SEA ACR Cockpit Switch 
Assembly is never pretty...
