thoughts on this battery monitor from anyone who as one installed-is it worth the money-my dealer says he will charge me $288 plus installation if he orders the part-I see at amazon for $206.75

    Just did the install myself on a 2020 TAB400.  Was quite straightforward.  What's your TAB?

    t@b 400-getting down there to the actual battery is the problem-I assume it has to fasten to it somehow-my trailer is at the dealer now having the air conditioning looked at and a new tongue hitch-they said they could do it-it will cost me though-since I didn't feel capable-it is 95 degrees here also

    my dealer is a 2 hour drive away-is it worth my time to order it and bring it to them-they said that was ok-to save 50$ or just have them order it and pay the extra for the mark up?? that is the question-in this heat-I,m thinking maybe just pay the xtra-i really want it

    @kaylevine1, please share pics of how your dealer installed your Victron 712 including the shunt.
