I know exactly what you mean boat39. Everybody's needs are different for the amount of solar required. Also every RV has numerous ways of bring the wiring from the roof to your charge controller. Always use the largest wire so that you can expand your system if required. The inverter and controller should be mounted as close as possible to batteries but not in the same compartment if you are using flooded cell batteries. Your remotes you mount in any convenient location inside of the trailer that is easy for you to monitor.
I researched for a year before purchasing my solar equipment and new exactly how to hook up the entire system by myself. By doing it myself, I knew it was done right and no shortcuts were taken.
