My 540AH of LFPs are under my night stand, two feet from my head, the SCC and inverter on the wall next to the headboard above. Not taking up any usable space to speak of, but I do wonder about sleeping next to all those electrons flying around. Theft wise, no protection since I don't lock the cabin. A locked job box outside sounds like thief bait as well though.

A locked job box outside sounds like thief bait as well though. Since you are using LFP, you could weight the box with cinder blocks. Makes it much harder to take the whole thing. Of course with FLA batts, that isn't really an issue without equipment(my 8 6V FLA weigh like 660lbs.). The boxes I have, have locking tabs that are recessed and hidden. This makes it more difficult for a thief to attack the lock (difficult, but still doable for the determined thief). Unless you have a thief that is specifically targeting your solar equipment, I think its pretty safe. Pretty sure they would much rather steal things like tools, TVs, ATVs and the like!
