I have a setup as per the attached diagram in my RV (except for the shunt which is not yet installed). I am looking to add a smartshunt 300 IP65 but am not sure if the wiring shown in the diagram is correct. I have the batteries and loads wired to terminal blocks so I’m not sure whwre to connect the shunt.
Thanks for help!

Yep. Just think of it this way. EVERYTHING on the negative side of every load or charging source MUST pass through the shunt or you will have inaccurate state of charge. In other words if you connect any load or charger to the negative side of the battery and bypass the the shunt(or negative terminal block in your drawing) the data will not be recorded. Even your chassis ground should pass through the shunt.
