GFCI outlets not working - 2021 26FKBS (fixed)

[luv2skyski]

So we went camping this weekend and none of my gfci outlets had power. They worked fine last weekend...
Obviously, tried resetting the only resettable gfci outlet, in the bathroom.
No love.
Took the outlet out and there was no power (luckily I carry a cheapo northern tool meter in the truck):



Took the cover off the distribution panel and verified power coming out of the gfi labeled breaker.

Called service at the stealership where we purchased and verified the bathroom was the only resettable outlet.

I finally noticed all the outlets had "Inverter Circuit" stickers...

🤔

Turned off the inverter (forward lower left cabinet in the kitchen) for about 10 second and turned it back on.
Voila!!
Back in business. Crock pot will again work on the counter for tacos that we were making for us an another family for dinner.

And Dave's back out of the doghouse!

I know my inverter will trip into "overload" mode and stop outputting power when I exceed it's wattage.

What's the rating on your inverter vs. the circuit breaker outlets it powers? Are you set up for frustration...?

Thanks, ependydad. I think you're right. I've been set up for failure from the start:



My wife's hairdryer is 1000 watts! 8.5 amps continuous is a far cry from the 15 amp circuit breaker on the GFI circuit.

Any suggestions?
I very rarely, if ever, have the need for a 115 volt circuit that can run off the batteries.

Good to hear you’re back up and running.

Just quickly verify.....which outlets exactly, do run off the inverter.
Make sure that no one plugs in too many high current items anywhere along the chain at the same time, even though any ONE item would be okay.
