Inverter issues

We have an issue with the outlets not working. It is a 2013 JaycoGreyhawk 31fs. We are sitting next to the water and turned the xantrex xm1000 on and it shows 12v but there is no output. I foumd the inverter under the bed and I don't even hear the fan running.

There is a reset on the side of the INVERTER, did you check that?

did you reset the bath GFI? you didn't say which outlets are not working.

Since you know where the inverter is, start there. Use a voltmeter to see if there is anything coming out. If you have 12 volts going in but no 120 volts coming out, the problem is with the inverter.

Mine has an outlet on it that a power cord plugs into and is protected by a GFCI pushbutton in the middle. I have had it trip in the past a few times. Since you say it shows 12 volts coming in you can eliminate the input side, probably but not 100% guaranteed.

Do the outlets work when connected to shore power? There will be a transfer switch either internally to the inverter or externally to it that it connects to. The transfer switch will pick either the shore (or generator) power or the inverter.

There probably is a circuit breaker associated with the inverter/shore power feed to the outlets it feeds. Make sure it is not tripped.

What model inverter is it exactly?

I did see the reset button the the side and tried to press it. It felt loose but didn't really do anything.

I did try the bath go. Cant get it to trip or reset, like it has no power to it.

I dont have a meter with me now, was going to have to wait until I got back home. All of the beakers do not seem to be tripped.

The only outlet that works is the one for the tv that is over the can.

Xantrex pro xm1000

That's the only one that is supposed to work and maybe the bedroom TV

Bedroom tv doesn't work either. From what you are saying the the outlets will work when we are connected to shore power.

Yep, only with shore power or geny.
