Sorry if this has been covered before, I cannot find a discussion.
I live in a 50A 5th wheel and am going to install a solar system in the next year.
I would like to use solar power primarily, and have shore power supplement, when there is not enough solar to meet demand. Is there an inverter/charger on the market that will draw from the solar/batteries, but supplement with shore power when needed?
A Victron salesman said the Multiplus 2 would do this, but I cannot find a setting in the manual.
I think this can be accomplished by having a separate charger and inverter, but there would be losses for shore power going through the charger to the inverter to the house, and they would have to be larger to handle the whole 120V load.
