The Relion batteries have a BMS (battery monitor system) and will protect themselves from charging in colder conditions and have shut all my power down (both AC and DC) on one occasion. If that happens, you will not have power to the van. If you can try your generator on a warmer day and it works as expected would bet that is your problem.
Thank you !! It’s 42 degrees - I think we are going to take it to camping world in the morning to see if we are doing something wrong.
We just feel we needed an extra generator is necessary because we couldn’t make it over an hour and a half with heat or HVAC Without completely draining our batteries
