Well, I finally had time to work on my solar-battery-inverter install. Here are some pictures showing my approach to solving the problem of conserving storage space while adding all the goodies. In the end, I think I actually gained some space.
Solar panels - 8 100 watt Renogy panels on the roof
Battery Install - 3 100AH Battle Born Lithiums
I was able to move things around and stash the batteries behind the aft basement partition.

Finished Assembly
I tried to keep the wires away from the floor and out the way but the 4/0 wire is a challenge to route. In the end I was able to keep most of the conductors behind the wall.
I placed the BMV-712 and Inverter control behind what was a dummy door held closed with a screw. I'll use the blue tooth app on my phone but my DW will want to have a switch she can flip to turn on the inverter.
I now have a front compartment with no batteries and plenty of room for adding storage shelves and a tool box. Can't wait to start on that mod.2021 Reflection 303RLS Pulled by 2019 F350 Crew cab diesel with Andersen hitch

Yes @RoadmasterD - X2......well done ! Thanks, for sharing the pictures and narrative. Your solar install along with those shared by several others has been a good learning tool for me and many others.

Your install is very impressive. Very clean. Great work.
From the roof, to the basement, where and how did you come down with the solar panel wires?2020 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS 5th Wheel

Thanks, I used the existing wiring that GD provided as the “Solar Ready” package. It’s a 10 AWG wire that ran from the roof to the front compartment. They also included a pre-wired Jaboni brand box with MC4 connectors installed in the roof.
I installed the panels as two parallel strings of four in series. This gives me about 80 volts and 12 Amps. The 10 AWG wire can handle around 30 Amps +/-2021 Reflection 303RLS Pulled by 2019 F350 Crew cab diesel with Andersen hitch

Looks great! You're much more ambitious than me, I thought what I did to our 303 was a lot.
