The resistance of wood is likely in the 100s of thousands of ohms. The resistance of a 500A/50mV shunt is 0.0001. Mounting on wood by itself is not a problem.
4 connect inverter to other side of shunt as well. Using the 'bank 1' negative will have a small advantage due to balanced charge and discharge. 2 connect shunt to negative post of one battery. Would not affect the reading by a fraction of a percent. 1 disconnect the ground and the inverter cable from the battery bank. I used a 3M product called Dual Lock on the bottom of the battery to prevent it from sliding on the floor – it’s similar to velcro, but not the same at all. At least make sure there is some rubber between the wood and the metal. Shout out to my son the aircraft mechanic for providing the fancy Elcon bulkhead connector for the battery cables – makes for fast and easy battery removal.

Here’s a couple of pictures of my setup – one view from the storage compartment and the other of the backside of the bulkhead where the cables are routed and the Victron is mounted. I’m just learning about lithium and battery monitors so I had several questions for the guys at Dakota and they helped me get this project completed and working perfectly. Enerdrive SIMARINE SC303 300A Shunt - Suits PICO LCD Battery Monitor (SI-SC303) Innovative combination of shunt and tank level module.
Was able to relocate the battery from the trailer tongue to my front storage compartment and keep all the wiring neatly tucked away – as well as clean up the factory wiring mess I found during the conversion – typical camper crap. Converted my RV from lead acid to lithium with a Dakota 280 Ah battery and a Victron Smart Shunt.
