Since the control board was no longer mounted on the Xantrex panel, I needed to figure out a way to secure it. I also wanted it in a very accessible location so that the controls could be easily operated, and the indicator lights could be easily seen. I decided that the passenger side wall of the Xtra-cab would be a great location. I could utilize the existing audio speaker panel to fit it with a flush appearance, and conceal all of the wiring in the cavity behind the wall. I routed the wiring under the door sill, behind the kick-panel, and finally through the firewall. After some searching, I found a perfect enclosure for the control board, an opaque plastic fishing tackle box. With some trimming and drilling, it was a perfect fit.
