The item in my kit
I bought Victron MultiPlus 12V 3000VA Inverter-Charger as part of my camper van equipment.

Where it fits my build
On Day 95 I moved the Flatline rack cross beams to suit the solar-panel length, then added 2020 extrusion above the existing rack extrusion. I brought two solar panels onto the roof to work through the fit.
That same session included junction-box assembly, cable glands and routing power and Ethernet cables. The physical layout of the rack and the cable routes developed together.

My build notes
The roof session took twelve hours, and fitting the panels was only one part of it. Cutting extrusion, positioning brackets and organizing the cables all used the same limited working area.
My useful takeaway from that day is the value of laying out the real parts before settling their positions. Moving a cross beam and checking the panel fit gave me a concrete reference for the next stage.
I worked through panel position, rack spacing and cable routes together on the roof.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The other MultiPlus listing stays with the original 12V 3000VA format, while the MultiPlus-II 2x120V uses a different AC connection arrangement and enclosure.
Victron MultiPlus 12V 3000VA Variant
This MultiPlus combines battery inverter and charger functions in one enclosure. The listed configuration is 12 volts with a 3000VA inverter and 120A charger.
This inverter-charger combines a 12-volt battery connection with a 2x120V AC arrangement. The 3000VA unit uses a taller enclosure than the original MultiPlus format.
