A hairdryer issue!

Voltage drop. The cables are inadequate for the higher load. I suspect they are the ones supplied with the inverter and will almost certainly be undersized and not copper (how floppy are they? Very flexible or are they quite stiff and hard to bend?

Are you sure your still talking about inverter cables David?

For the money spent on a high end power pack, you'd be better off upgrading the vans electrics using victron equipment. A 2000 VA Inverter or Multiplus should solve your excessive demand requirements. But remember the 12 volt current overhead would be in excess of a 150 Amps.
So a whole system upgrade or you'll be disappointed.

With an ecoflow you can dry your hair at home in a power cut ,and still watch TV .

At home I can disconnect from the Grid and run the house my generator, but I'd rather not carry it around.

The inverter is mounted by the LB using about 2' of 16mm2 cables. The inverter draws just under 1A no load. It seems to be fine now so not quite sure what the previous issue was causing it to regularly trip out under max 850w?

Probably a bad connection. They have to be really good and tight at that sort of current.

Your problem is caused by the peuket effect on lead acid batteries.
