I routed the cable fromt he solar panel through the driver side air intake
on the side of the body near the rear of the van.  From there, it exits into
the engine compartment and under the engine and body of the van to the vent
tube for the battery compartment.  Then up the tube into the battery
compartment and into a cabinet I installed behind the passenger seat.
That's where the charge controller is mounted.  Then the cable comes out of
the charge controller, back thru the battery vent and across to the battery
vent for the aux battery behind the driver seat and up through the vent to
the battery.

Hope this helps.  There are some photos on my web site at the following
