I have the 2812, and while it works well, I would not buy it again. Mine is six years old at this point.
Mainly my gripe is 12v. I should have studied more and went with a higher voltage on the battery bank. The biggest issue is the difference between full and "empty". On a 12v system that's only 0.8 volts, not much margin. On a 48v system you have 3.2 volt difference to work with.
Victron has more bells and whistles, not sure what improvements they offer.
I have been looking at putting a 48V Victron in my motorhome with storage provided by used Tesla battery packs. My main hangups getting 48V power on the road for recharging and supplying enough 12V power while stopped to run the those appliances. Do you have some suggests there?
Both the main motor and the generator start off of 12V so I want to keep some redundancy there to be sure that I don't get stranded someday.
