How to organize my power system's components?

[Naveronski]

I'm unsure of the best layout in my trailer's tongue box.

The system has two batteries, solar controller, inverter, blue sea fuse box, etc.
I don't think it's too crazy or elaborate, but I'd like to capitalize on the experience here to do it right the first time.

Is there a picture thread or anything that exists? I tried to search and didn't find it.

Do you have a picture of what you have so far? Or some dimensions of your set up?

I do not, but I can take some if that would help.
The size of the tongue box that I buy will depends on how much space I need - this thread is part of that research.

For example, can I situate everything close together as compact as possible, or do I need to space things apart to allow for cooling/etc?

I have all of my components under the hood, so it’s all subjected to engine heat. What type of batteries ? Flooded Lead Acid (FLA) off gas during charging and should not be in an unventilated space, I think. If I had to guess an inverter puts off heat during use, and may throw off a battery temp sensor. I’d look up how much heat the inverter puts out at various levels of use.

Trailer tongue box battery setups?

Hey Guys, Interested in how you all have setup your trailer battery 12v electrical systems and what your running off those trailer battery setups. Pictures, schematic diagrams, components used, type of batteries etc etc would all be helpful. I know some guys are running solar, others are...

My batteries (2) are Duracell Marine & RV deep cycle SLI31MDC .
I've seen where people add vents to their tongue boxes, which seems like what I'll do to mine.
