Battery Monitor Victron 712

I have a Montana 3120. I bought me a Victron 712 battery montor. I would like suggestions how to run the monitor cable from the shunt to the best place inside trailer where to mount the monitor on the wall. Suggestions and pictures will be appreciated.

I mounted my 712 near the In Command panel. Fishing the cable is not too difficult. You'll need to pull the rear panel off in the front compartment (the one opposite the stairs); just a few screws holding it on. From there, you can figure out how to get it to your shunt.

I'll get a photo of it tomorrow.

PS: When you fish the cable through, pull a string with it; you'll thank yourself the next time you need to pull something into that area.

This is where I installed my 712; low so I could reach it.
