The Multiplus II's solid, but don't overlook the Victron Skylla-TG for charging if you've got shore power access—pairs nicely with a separate smaller inverter for van life. What's your battery capacity and typical power draw? That'll determine whether you need 3000 or can get away with 2000. Also worth checking if your leisure battery's BMS can handle the charge rates.

Got a 48V Multiplus II 5000 paired with 300Ah LiFePO₄ in mine—handles kettle, microwave, inverter load all at once without flinching. Worth checking your actual simultaneous demand before sizing though. What's your battery setup looking like? That'll dictate whether you need the 3000 or go bigger.
