Galley power out
i'm on a shore power. i did a stupid thing just now - while the heater was on, i turned the induction cooktop on. well, each is about 1300w. in a few seconds, 125v power in galley, entertainment center, restroom and all outlets were out except the fridge and microwave. the breaker panel is this:
i turned the main and heater breakers off and on, no effect. where else to look at? all suggestions are appreciated.

When that happens to our rig, one of the breakers on the Freedom inverter has popped.
Press it in to reset.

x2. Mine is the same. Overloading a 120v circuit trips a breaker on the inverter.

You might have popped the "breaker" on your inverter/converter.
I did a very similar thing....and I searched high and low for the popped breaker. I finally figured out what I had done when I noticed my GFI plug (and the entire circuit following it) had no power to it. The GFI had NOT popped...it had no power. That was my clue. Obviously there was a popped breaker somewhere. I finally found the breaker popped at (on) my inverter. There are two 15 amp "breakers" on the side of my inverter. Once was popped. It is a little tiny black button that when popped shows a white collar. Just push it back in to reset.

This one was easy.
It happened to us the first time while in Tucson with 1+" of snow falling.
Locals said, "it never snows here".
Unloading and crawling into the basement to get to the inverter was memorable.

When I read the topic: "Galley Power Out" my first thought was GFCI in Bathroom.

First clue was well labeled breaker panel had no faulted loads listed but did have a large inverter listed.

Does anyone know how the inverter can be bypassed so just the circuit breaker in the panel can be in the loop on a certain line?
I would much rather walk to the bedroom and reset a breaker than walk outside to an end bay and push the inverter re-set button.
We don't plan on using the inverter for kitchen stuff like a toaster or coffee pot, which will pop the inverter breaker quickly.
Thanks!

I would say change the breaker in the panel to a 15 or 20 amp one. The OP has a 30 amp breaker supplying a 2000 watt inverter. The inverter breaker is probably less then 30 amps.

change 30a--> 20a breaker for inverter on bedroom panel
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?
