Intended use is occasional use in a Summerhouse. Unless I'm mistaken, the Victron unit above is also missing shutters?  Difficult to see in the photo, but looks like there's direct access to all 3 terminals. Not trying to pick holes in your suggestions, but maybe this is 'standard' for inverters?

From a seller on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/BEAUDENS-Portable-Generator-Phosphate-Emergency/dp/B07MC7TV2G/ I'm inclined to return it as unsafe.  The photo of the 3-pin socket on the Amazon site doesn't show the fact that all 3 electrical terminals are visible.  Quite what they connect...

There are some feeds off to several rooms for power - basically a home office (a few computers / displays + printer) and living room (TV, Sky box, games consoles), plus some lighting circuits, and one fridge-freezer.  The gas boiler & pump run off it as well. Nothing going outside. Thanks...

Hi - I hope someone can give some advice on this. As the title says one of our RCDs (Wylex 80A, 30mA) has been tripping at precisely 5am every day, for roughly the last week - plus a few times in the weeks before (again 5am). By 'exactly' 5am I mean literally to within a few seconds each time...
