I'm a bit confused too.
Because the INverter was NOT plugged into the AC outlet for it to "sense" shore power, the INverter was never automatically transferring AC shore power to the outlets... hence the limitation of watts supplied by the inverter... that part I understand.
I don't understand why a high current device caused the GFCI outlet to trip?
Maybe the OP actually meant the circuit breaker on the INverter???
