Not charging when van is running help?

Having issues on my first road trip

While driving I’m not charging my batteries. Solar is fine but nothing from charging system from van

Not sure if my outfitter setup the Orion smart hq correctly.

He had me check under config and it showed float. I reset to factory default and now I get this but still not charge when engine is on.

Any ideas?

Please post screen shots of the Orion and MPPT battery settings. What type of battery is it? Lithium or AGM?

The Orions should be charging, but the shunt says otherwise. And has a strange voltage reading. Could be it's wired to the starter battery.

They are lithium and I would have expected to wire this correctly

This is a new build
