Galley power out

No because maybe when supply to inverter breaker trips inverter fires up.

Gives warning.

If inverter is close to load center then swap existing full size breaker with compact or double breaker to allow more circuits and move high load circuit from inverter to main.

Suggest using junction box at inverter so a new wire can be added to run to panel so it can be returned to stock easy.

do you know why there are two "Main" breakers on the panel? could it be one for microwave another for the rest of the coach?

2, 50 amp main breakers are standard for 50 amp service. Every other breaker will be on an opposite leg.

Good point but he could leave the inverter off, unless off grid.

I'm wondering if there is a sub panel for inverter loads. He would have a bit of rewiring to do if there is.

On our rigs, the Freedom inverter contains an additional transfer switch (battery vs shorepower).

So shore power passes through the inverter on the way to the coach 110v outlets.

If the breakers on the inverter do not like the power draw, they will pop.

If the shore power is routed around the inverter, then the outlets will not be able to receive inverted power.

If a larger breaker is in front of the inverter at the breaker panel, the inverter will still trip.

I suspect the only solution is to modify the inverter box itself with a larger breaker?

i checked the coach manual, it says the same thing - the inverter does act like a traffic cop - when shore power is present, it directs the power to the outlets; when shore power is absent and inverter is on, it will invert from 12vdc to 120vac and send electricity to outlets. in my case, even though i turned the inverter off while using shore power, it still monitored the loads and cut the electricity off when it sensed the overloaded. smart design. i don't think i will touch it as it works as suppose to.

Ours has a seperate ats for the inverter and that ats is selectable to which circuit the inverter supports.

In your case it seems the manufacturer built in such a way that many outlets ate on the inverter and it can be easily overloaded resulting in tripping the protector in the inverter.

Your thoughts about bypassing are sound as they can provide an outlet not protected nor limited by the inverter.

An easy but laborious task but one could add complete new circuit and outlet where one would be using the high loads.

To be clever one could run the new supply wire to existing outlet if that outlet only has one set of wires, then break the tabs between the two and have one inverted and one direct.

Being careful that both on same phase if a 50 amp coach.
