Electrical distribution block advice
I am interested in getting power to the rear of my truck so I can run a 12k winch, air compressor, and be able to feed an RV by way on an Anderson plug set up. Each of these uses will be done independently, there would never be a need to run them simultaneously. Plan is to run 2/0 copper wire to handle the amperage requirement of the winch over that distance.
Any recommendations on a distribution block at the rear of the truck that would feed each device? Corrosion is my biggest concern, and I have not found anything that would seem suitable.

I have removed the spare tire to accommodate the winch and the ARB air compressor. Ideally, I would like to locate the distribution block in that area. I am modifying a Swarfworks Raptor rear winch setup to go behind the license plate. The unit is enclosed in an aluminum box. Not yet sure what I am going to do to protect the compressor.
I do want to run heavy gauge wire from the block to the winch and Anderson plug. I don't believe the above two units would allow heavy gauge.
