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.
