Well camping season finally rolled around. Finally had our very 1st full hookup- 50amp campsite for a little weekend getaway.

Everything worked great in the 5er, both air conditioners, microwave, furnace, water heater, HVAC zone control.

Got back home knowing everything works well, tried the inverter/genny with grounding plug. neither air conditioner would start with everything else turned off. popped the circuit breakers on the inverter.

So i guess i need to understand why, find someone who can fix or get a different inverter that will work.

Any tests i can run on it ? any suggestions ?
