My suggested 50 amp battery charger would have done about the same thing. Glad to hear the GP is working for you.
I guess I don't understand your suggestion.
I have 1600 watts solar, 618 ah LFP batteries, Victron MPPT controller, and a 3kw GoPower inverter/charger. And what I want to do is run a few more amps of load than what shore power provides. Not always, just on occasion like my example of the heat pump.
What would a 50 amp charger do that my inverter/charger wouldn't do?
The idea was to not plug in the RV. Just run on the inverter. And use a simple battery charger from the limited supply to keep the battery charged. At times the inverter may draw more power and start depleting the battery. Once the large load cycles off the battery charger refills the battery. Also while the large load is running the battery charger would reduce the load on the battery.
The load on the outlet would always be limited to the rating of the battery charger.
