My latest project was installing a HW50C in my 2019 FC 28RBT.
This:

Why:
- Half the price of external dongles
- It will never get stolen
- Don't have to carry dongle around
- It looks better - it's invisible!
No pics, followed this excellent YT video:
My notes:
- In the FC28 there is very little space behind the breaker box. Tons of AC ducting, sewer pipes, fresh water pics, wires. There is just enough space on the right to squeeze in this 10x5" HW50C.
- I screwed the unit to a small wooden platform, leaving the tail end about an inch in the air so I could clear a water pipe. Then I screwed down the platform to the flooring with a couple small L brackets.
- The big umbilical cord is difficult to work with, very stiff. Do as suggested by the install manual and cut it at the right spot, this will help greatly when shoving everything back into the jungle.
- Decided to mount the little remote display just above the breaker box, below the fridge. It protrudes evenly with the face of the fridge and I'll never need to look at it unless something isn't working. Perfect location IMO and no need to route wires (I carved a small opening into the bezel of the breaker box to allow the wire to pass)
It's conceptually an easy project, the hard part was making the unit fit. The guy in the video seems to have ample space in his AS.
