Question re solar controller on EHU

J

Jenny2024

I bought a Victron Smartsolar 75/15 for my caravan as I'll be off-grid for a few weeks in the summer. I've 2 x 120W solar panels ( free-standing, not fitted to caravan). Except for this one off-grid trip per year, I use EHU.
To avail of the "intelligent Load output function" on the Victron, I will have to connect the caravan load directly to it. I'm wondering, can I leave the wiring this way when I return to EHU? Will the Victron receive power from its 'load' input and send it to the battery? Or will I have to remove the Victron and reconnect the caravan load directly to the battery?
 
Why do you need the "intelligent Load output function" ?
It's not normally used.
One would normally connect the battery to the battery terminals, PV to the PV terminals and leave the van as is.
Current is limited from the load output and it wont be enough to power a caravan without adding a relay.
I do actually use mine to power a MiFi that is next to the MPPT controller
