Adding an Inverter?

That's a nice cleanup Keith. Mine is a mess throughout the trailer and 99% of it is that way from the factory. I would have cleaned mine up but it was cold enough that my fingers weren't working well and I need my trailer ready to roll Tuesday night. I really can't start another project. I did a similar distribution block on my side-by-side.
Does my solar panel wire need to go directly to the battery? Or could it go to a distribution block like you have? In my picture above, my solar panel wire is the small yellow wire spliced to the small black wire. I wasn't sure what that went to until I disconnected it. The solar panel controller really doesn't like not have a battery at the end of the line. A constant alarm goes off.

My battery feeds the 100 amp breaker then the distribution block. As long as you solar controller has a feedback break (which most do) I see no reason why you could not go to the battery side of the main first (in my photo). Or you main Fred on the distribution block.
Hope this helps.

I have the same breaker in 150 amp and I'm a little worried about it. One corner arrived at my house broken off. It was a corner used to secure the breaker. Also, the posts are a bit short. After putting my 2 gauge crimped connector on the post and the nut on top of the connector the rubber cap wouldn't fit on the stud.
