I could mount the charge controller by the use/store switch next to the entry door. That will make an extremely short run between the charge controller and the batteries.

Our class C came with "solar prep"... MC4 connection on the roof, cable ran through the roof, under the kitchen cabinets and terminated at a 10amp PWM controller... right beside the use/store battery switch. I put 2 100 watt panels on the roof, swapped out the controller for a 40amp MPPT. Then I ran 1/0 AWG cable from the controller to my GC2 6volt batteries under the steps.
I have no plans on trying to run A/C or any heavy amp draws... just want good reliable 12volts, always charged. For that it was simple AND affordable.
