Question Inverter Xantax 1055 not working properly?

Seems we have a problem with the inverter when I unplug the shore power to see if inverter sends 110 volts to several plugs in Coach it does not.I plugged a plug tester in outlets and all it does is pulsate my tester also goes 110 volts just
For split second and just again pulsates the 110 voltage very quickly.
The lites although do come on being D.C. Lites.
The charger on the inverter seems to be working from PAD indications.
Any thoughts just purchased this Coach and really never tested inverter through
it's phases seeing PAD indications seem normal and did not test the inversion
Electric.
Help

Wish I understood your post. What is a PAD indication? Is the inverter supposed to send electricity (120 volts AC) to all of the electrical plugs in the coach?

Most RV's with factory installed inverters use those inverters to run the residential style fridge in them for short periods of time between camp ground hookups or generator use.

The Pad is the remote controller inside the coach. When shore power is lost the refrigerator should go to propane. The inverted DC to AC usually goes to a few outlets and maybe the microwave.
My inverter is charging the batteries but is not inverting D.C. (Batteries) to AC.
When I simulate a power outage by pulling shore power the inverter does not invert when I test the outlets it seems to pulsate 120 volts but for only a second.
Someone has told me the inverter can charge batteries and stop inverting.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

Is there two AC lines wired to the Inverter?

If not maybe it was just installed as a Converter (charger). You would need an AC input and an AC output wired to the Xantrex for it to be used as an inverter. AC source in and AC loads out to either a single circuit or a pony distribution panel for multiple load circuits.

As mentioned above most inverters are installed in RV's these days to power a residential fridge but it sounds like you have an LP fridge.

I looked up the owners manual for your charger / inverter. there are many status light conditions and error codes described in the manual. you know it is not powering the receptacles. what are the status lights and error codes on the actual inverter showing? there are several conditions that will shut the inverter down. this info would be much more helpful in trying to figure out what is going on.
