Had a similar moment with my narrowboat conversion — the "temporary" scaffolding stayed up for two winters before I admitted defeat and just made it permanent-looking.
I've got a B2B sat in my narrowboat's engine bay that's been through absolute hammering — three winters of dodgy shore power, alternator charging at all hours, the lot. Never once complained.
I've learned this the hard way on the narrowboat. Saved about £60 on a battery monitor from Amazon last year and spent six months chasing support when it started dropping connection.
