@StuKnight — actually tested this exact scenario on my static caravan setup. Running a SmartSolar 75/15 into a 200Ah Fogstar Drift bank, Cerbo GX without a BMV for the first few months.

Had almost the identical situation in my static last February. Woke up at 6am, Victron Cerbo showing a big fat nothing from the battery bank — Fogstar had tripped...
Something I noticed with my static caravan setup — panel sizing looks "overkill" until you hit a grim November fortnight where you're pulling everything back through compromised...
