Victron Multiplus tripping out when the washing machine kicks into spin cycle

Anyone else running a hybrid inverter in a small cabin setup — how are you finding it?
Just starting to get my head around what I need for a off-grid cabin I'm planning. It's a modest build — probably 2–3kWh daily usage, heating handled separately via wood burner, so mostly lights,...
