Motorhome Victron upgrade

I am modernising the electrics in my 20 year old motorhome, and have already started buying Victron kit to do the job. I have put together the below wiring diagram in prep for the install, but has raised a couple of questions (I've left some notes on the diagram, but those can be ignored):


  1. I have put a 16A RCBO between the power-in and the multiplus compact, is this OK to do? More importantly, is it necessary? Since it has 2 A/C outputs i figured it will be difficult to put a proper over current device down stream from the multiplus without artificially limiting what one or the other output can draw? Should I swap the RCBO for just a MCB for the over-current only?
  2. Is it "normal" to just run MCBs on the output of the multplus? Should I have an RCBO on both outputs, feeding the MCBs?
  3. Is the diagram generally OK? I have a tendency to over-engineer things, so wouldn't mind opinions. This is also my first time doing this sort of system from scratch, so if theres anything missing would also be appreciated.
    1. I have left out one part from the diagram - the "remote" terminals on the Smart BatteryProtect will be connected to a switch, effectively allowing the "load" side of the 12v system to be turned on/off from this switch
