So I think i get that?Every earth/negative/ground/-Ve (all the same thing) goes to one side of the shunt and a single fat negative cable goes from the other side of the shunt to the negative post of the leisure battery.
Any negatives can go to the bodywork of the vehicle if it helps reduce the amount of cables in a negative busbar as long as at least one fat earth from this negative busbar connects to the bodywork and shunt too to effectively connect these waifs and strays to the shunt load side.
The point with the shunt is that everything electrically connected to the leisure battery has to go through the shunt sampler via the leisure battery negative post so that the shunt can tell you what's in the battery at any point in the days activities eg solar bunging in power, engine running and bunging in power or on EHU and Victron IP 22 bunging in power.
I'm not seeing those wires on any of your pictures, are they just connected to the small fuse holder in your panel?Cool, and do I need to worry about the grey/ brown wires disappearing under floor?
Centre of seat cloud shape, has wires going into or coming out of seat floor.I'm not seeing those wires on any of your pictures, are they just connected to the small fuse holder in your panel?
If you're connected to the fuse box they they'll be positive connections so don't worry about them.Centre of seat cloud shape, has wires going into or coming out of seat floor.
One leaves red 40 fuse.
Three connected to three fuse box one brown two grey. Small gauge.
Same as mine pretty much, 300a MRBF on the positive terminal via a chunky copper busbar, 50mm² cable to a 300a isolator switch, then to my fused busbar (250a mega for the 2000w inverter + midi fuses for DC-DC, MPPT, fuse boxes etc). Then the same 50mm² on my negative side via the shunt, busbar, and 50mm² to my 2000w inverter.I run a 2kw inverter so the two individual fat cables, positive and negative, connected to my leisure battery are "0" guage, the black goes about 300mm to the shunt and the positive goes the same distance but through a 250A fuse to one side of the battery isolator and then onwards from the isolator to the cluster of various sized fuses located under the seat too.
But seriously, AIThis is like explaining to my Dad that he needs to retune his FreeSat box every now and then rather than him going off on a tangent about the government removing the free TV licence and trying to force him to pay by gradually removing his favourite channels... 'kin maniac, in the end we go around there retune his box and he goes on to worry about AI deleting him... scatter gun logic and the dark arts are obviously easier to grasp.
Anyway back on course and as @TallPaul_S reiterated above only fat negative connected to the leisure battery should be from the "to leisure battery" side of the shunt sampler, this cable needs to be as fat as the single red coming from the positive post and going through your 100A isolator as these cables between them carry any potential maximum current that your leisure battery needs to satisfy your habitation load.

argh numbers argh AI!!

Hopefully the only fire you see today!!View attachment 254872Celebrating days success with a pint…..in a pub that has a fire going on this hottest of days hahhaha
