Sporadic Red LED Inverter Error on Engine Start

My inverter is working correctly. When I start my engine or generator, the inverter error LED lights for a few seconds. In addition, the GFCI "end of life" red LED displays. The previous GFCI tripped in this scenario, so I replaced it. The new GFCI doesn't trip, but both green (OK) and red (end of life) LEDs are lit. After a few seconds the error LEDs are gone. The inverter appears to be working correctly otherwise.

Any ideas on what the problem is? I have a 2011 Tiffin Phaeton QTH.

What is the condition of your house batteries? If their voltage is low or pulled down when starting the generator that can cause the inverter fault due to LBCO (Low Battery Cut Off).

Are you using the boost start switch while starting the engine, or are you on shore power ?

Either way, that can drop the house battery voltage.
