On our Montana, the power is run from the rear receptacle all the way to just inside that basement panel where it comes up through a hole in the floor to the rear of the distribution panel, on the right at floor level just inside the doorway. Everyone who's posted about installing a Progressive (this is something I'm doing this year) on the Montana Owner's Club forum has mounted it in back of the basement panel and put a remote display above the dist. panel on the inside OR mounted one with the built-in display on that basement panel or made a hole for it to just have the display show.
I've had the basement panel off twice now and it's not difficult to do. Just a few screws and it comes right off. I'm probably going to mount one with the built in display on the inside, but put a frame of some sort around it. There appears to be enough slack cable to hook it directly to the Progressive's input side, but any big box hardware store will have the right gauge by the foot if needed. I usually tackle jobs like this knowing I'll have to make at least one trip for something before it's done and plan for it.
