Actually, the controller does not need to be where the batteries are kept. It should be in close proximity but needs to be able to be easily seen (or read, if using a digital controller) so you can see the state of the charge. Ours is mounted on the wall of our RV right behind the driver seat in front of the slide, and the wiring from the roof runs down to it, the wiring to the batteries goes directly down to the battery compartment. There was no pre-wiring for our solar config, so we just did it ourselves and used lots of Eternabond tape and Dicor sealant.
