What will the GX screen show us with this connection?

Hello everyone, I am using the translator to ask my question, I hope it will be good. In the development of a van, I want to install a cerbo GX. and a phoenix converter, in addition to other elements such as the MPPT, a blue smart charger, a BMV 712 and an orion charger. My question is: what will the GX screen tell me, because all the diagrams found show me that it is a multiplus which is connected to the cerbo GX and not a Phoenix converter. Otherwise the second possibility is to put 2 multiplus 1600 VA in parallel, but it takes a lot of space. Thank you for your help

A multiplus is a much better option than just a phoenix inverter, it provides a great charger and power assist / power control. There are 3000VA and 5000VA units if you need more power, no need for 2 of them in parallel, and you would spare the shore power charger.

I would definitely ditch the phoenix and use a multiplus (or quattro, if you have a generator)

Thank you, I don't have a generator, on the other hand I went with 2*1600 VA because at 12 volts, the maximum is 2000 VA which will be too tight.

I have a 12V 5kVA quattro, that I use every day, and there are 3000VA multiplus units too.
