Caravan Solar Upgrade - Tidying up connections to the battery - Bus bar recommendations

DIY

I am upgrading my solar from a PWM with a load segment to a 100/50
I posted previously about managing the load connection
I have now traced and labelled all the low current 12v loads and high current connections
I need to install POS and NEG bus bars to be able to connect the load to battery. Smart Solar 100/500 has no load connectors.

Currently POS and NEG connections to batteries are joined with multiple 16mm screw connectors and electrical tape and other nefarious joiners. I will leave all the low current ones inplace for the moment as it is spaghetti.

The diagram attached is how I would like it to be.

The photo is how it is now - I want the high current connections done better better - ie 240v charging, solar charging and alternator charging as per diagram and monitored via VictronConnect App.

I am considering a Lynx as a bus bar and possibly a SmartShunt 500a for battery monitoring - I have not put these on the diagram as yet

Any product selection advice would be greatly appreciated

A Lynx is a good way to do things but they are large, less flexible in cable directions and really aimed at much larger systems. Have a look at the Blue Sea busbar range, they come in smaller amp ratings.
