Adding hybrid inverter

Hi all

I am trying to add a Hybrid inverter to my RV (2019 3881ES)
Victron Multiplus II 12/3000/120/50, 2 x 120V

On the AC side - the input and output are coming from the generator transfer switch and eliminating the inverter and the inverter transfer switch. (I currently have 1000w Magnum Dimensions CSW1012 and CSW-TS15)
The new inverter will feed the whole RV and has a pass-through embedded.

On the DC side - this new inverter will also be charging the batteries, so I need to connect it instead of the current battery charger.

My question is - where is the existing battery charger located?

Thanks
Motty

Typically the converters are behind a basement wall in the pass thru. Remove some square head screws and remove a section and look for it.

My 2018 MB Charges from the converter at the breaker/fuse panel

I am not sure what model redwood you have but I just did a full solar/inverter Victron set up in out redwood. Our battery charger is part of the AC /DC fuse breaker panel. I just tuned the breaker off for the charger and everything else still works. If you really wanted to disable that charger you can pull it out and disconnect the AC power to the line side of it. I am a electrician by trade and can help you with any questions you may have on the Victron equipment.
