Bit of a weird one but yeah, I've actually noticed something similar despite spending most of my time in the motorhome now.
The issue for me is that I still have the house ticking over — can't...
Been scratching my head over this one and wondering if anyone else has run into the same issue.
Upgraded my system in the motorhome to the Victron MultiPlus-II 48/6k5/100-50 a couple of months...
@BordersExplorer that's the point that's been nagging at me too — what actually happens when one module in the stack develops a fault mid-trip?
Interesting one this — wondering if anyone's been following what's happening with the FCC ruling in the States blocking new foreign certifications for inverters with remote connectivity?

Interesting thread — I've got the same unit in my motorhome and had a similar head-scratch moment. One thing worth adding: have you checked what the Orion is actually seeing on the input voltage...
