Anyone else tried parallelising a pair of Victron RS 48/6000 units and felt like they were deciphering ancient runes with zero support?

@VivaroDream my static caravan setup taught me one brutal lesson: size the battery first or spend a miserable winter watching your Victron Cerbo GX display a very sad state of charge 🔋😬

Skipped the floor insulation in my static caravan thinking "heat rises anyway" — narrator: the heat did not, in fact, rise.

My static caravan's PWM controller was basically an expensive paperweight from October through March — MPPT on the same panel felt like I'd secretly added a second one. 🤷‍♀️

@SussexBoater "keep the fridge cold and pretend everything's fine" is basically my static caravan's entire energy philosophy too — except I added EV charging to the mix and now it's more...

Ran a Pi Zero W logging my Victron via VE.Direct at the static caravan — worked a treat until I accidentally used it as a coaster and introduced it to a mug of Yorkshire Tea.

My static caravan runs the same Cerbo GX + VRM combo and honestly the best feature is getting a low battery alert whilst you're sitting in the pub deciding whether to order another round — nothing...

Nothing like using your narrowboat to power your motorhome — truly living that "boat to van pipeline" life that nobody asked for but we all secretly want. My static caravan setup taught...

@IanWhite your MPPT is basically that mate who swears the pub closes at midnight when it definitely shuts at 11 — confidently wrong because it's only counting what it put in, not what you've...

Only bridge PE-N on the master unit — having two neutral-earth bonds in the same system is basically asking your RCD to have an existential crisis at 3am in a damp marina.
