Do you have a list of parts (and corresponding links) you purchased for your setup saved anywhere? Shot in the dark, I know.
I've got a few of the main components you used (Inverter/Charger, Distribution Center, LifePo4 batteries, etc.) and keep getting bogged down with what wire, how many feet to purchase, and the fuse situation! Send help 😂

I know the feeling! I don't have a complete list but I end up re-doing the electrical layout slightly from the one that is posted on this thread. I posted some additional info about the final specs and stuff on my main build thread. Here is the
link (I think it's around post 67).
I would suggest going with the Victron Lynx system as it made everything very clean and easy instead of multiple busbars as shown on the diagram posted. I thought I had shared my final diagram, but I may have forgotten to do that. Also as far as wire I went with all tinned marine grade wire from
Pacer Group . When I was doing the electrical most suppliers didn't have any stock and if they did they were up charging a ridiculous amount (ie. Amazon). Their wire seemed like good quality at a decent value. I used a bunch of different gauge wires depending on the application.
Far Out Ride has some great info along with a neat calculator to help determine the best size wire and fuses needed. The biggest suggestion I can make when it comes to figuring out how much wire to order would be to roughly tape out your wire runs and then add a lot of extra to your total! I had thought I had it all figured out exactly based on measuring and modeling my wiring system but when it came down to it I was short on almost every wire type. That lead to delays and added cost since the price of wire fluctuates and they didn't have free shipping.
Sorry, I don't have more specific info, but I hope some of this helps. Also, don't hesitate to ask any other questions.
