I have one of these in my van under prototype conditions. I ran the "outside" probe into the fridge to monitor it. I intend to hook it up with a spdt center off toggle switch so that I can monitor either battery, or no battery.

I mounted it on the tiny "shelf" above the sliding door curtain track, at the very front. I can look around while driving and read it, or see it from most locations in the back.
