Your inverter has a 30 amp breaker in it. It can not pass 50 amps thru it.

The fix is to locate, or install some outlets that are not on the inverter breaker and use them for some high amp devices.

Tap into the fridge outlet if its an absorbsion type. It won't be on the inverter.

Given they installed your control panel upside down one can only imagine what wiring errors were made ;-)...

In case someone is still following this, I found out from Deb that someone had replaced the original inverter system, and apparently wired it wrong. I could not run front AC without tripping it as well. After fridge failed, I bought dorm fridge and bypassed dometic one, then switched breaker for it and front AC and now that works fine. Now just need to check and repair the wiring job a po did or had done. I sitll love this rig.

Yes. Glad the problem was identified. Thanks for the follow-up. It may help someone else in their troubleshooting in the future. Plus, good news is always welcome.
