Now, this will save me $100 and the worry about protecting the monitor from the elements.

I went that extra mile and installed the Victron monitor in the coach right next to all of the other gauges. Small pain, but in the end, I look at it every time I’m nearby—out of sight out of mind was my theory, at least for me. Also have the Bluetooth app. The app is great, and offers a much more comprehensive and robust interaction and readout than the gauge that one has to scroll through the cryptic messages such as total Amp hour, etc.
I do like having both, because when I want to see the voltage of my starter and coach batteries, which I can do so at a glance, without having to fire up the app. That said, the app is way better for the “Devils in the details”.
One thing I’d add, I’ve only been successful paring the app to one device, my iPad. Trying to also see it on my iphone as well, it doesn’t appear to be able to sync with two devices, even if you’re not using them simultaneously, unless, I got something wrong, but I’ve tried many times...
