...more that 50A over a 16mm2 cable.
So maybe drop your 100A fuse down to 50A from the Roamer.
3mm2 cable for the 12v socket is a bit small if you plan on pulling the 100w+ 15A that some devices will draw, IE tyre pump or laptop charger.
Same with the fridge..... I'd beef up the fridge feed...
...grabbed one of these.... And loving it.
As one man beer fridge, travel fridge, weekend, compressor fridge cool box.
And being battery powered, runs it's self for a whole day.... And super quick recharge on a 100w USB.
Been testing it out and love it.

I’m having same issues with a Dometic CRX50.
New LB last year, I have 100w solar on roof with readings between 12.4-13.0 volts, everything working fine until last week.
I fitted 2 x 100w renogy panels and a skylight. Panels stuck down with black sikaflex. The skylight is one of the best things I have done to my van. Fresh air and light
Gave it a first wash under my ownership and stuck my Jackery 100w panel on the dash for a bit of SB and LB trickle charging, working well.....
Flirting with the idea of advertising my Shepherds Hut parking and grassed area as an overnight Park4Night type arrangement.
...feedback all!
I'm hoping to get away without an inverter. The biggest thing that i should need to power will be my laptop. For this i plan to use one of the 12v 100w chargers. This should be around 10A. I have upgraded to 6mm here, along with the fridge. I have also brought the fuse down to 50A.
Thanks @Dellmassive
As I don’t have anything in the van no leisure battery, or any fit out in the back it’s purely the van, I am guessing a 100w would be enough even in winter, in my T6.1 I guess it would plug into the lighter socket in the cup holder where the USB ports are as this is the...
...it is until I’ve ran it for a few trips. Now, as an additional bit of solar input, is there any reason I can’t wire my portable panel to the existing controller, I was going to on a temporary basis wire a couple of MC4s to the controller so I can just plug in my portable 100w panel when I’m away?
Three nights at Waterside camp site, Ullswater. First time the two of us have been away without hookup. 160ah Roamer, 500w solar & an AC180 for kettle & toaster. Roamer is on 89% after 2 nights, currently 100w solar going in & AC180 is on 50%
...loads of fridge upgrade action recently.
Check this one out ... What make this one great is a 240wh battery that last ages.
Not only that, it can be charger via 12v or mains or USBC 100w!!, or direct solar panel!
Duel zone, down to -20c, App control.
Awesome.
