Thank you all for the input.
I had a non bus crisis come up so didn't get any more testing done. I'm just getting to check the additional replies.
ajducote- I don't have the yellow buttons on those breakers. I have only one with a yellow button which is in the shore / gen breaker box section and belongs to the Bay Receptacles or 110 outlets. It's won't hold but it's been like that for a while and I have ignored troubled shooting it since being able to use the bay receptacles has not been needed enough but there must be a short somewhere that won't let that hold. It's been like that practically as long as I can remember getting this bus which was about 5 years ago. I doubt that is related to the problem but curious what the yellow button is for if you know and can tell me.
Mike- Thank you for confirming about the surge protector.
Gary- You wrote: ........"But, because your microwave, washer/dryer do not work, it has something to do with your panel power. Have you tested your transfer switch to verify you have 240 volt to your panel?
>>>>>>> No I have not but I think I should now that you pointed that out.
It is more than one circuit so it is possible it is your inverter, but I don't think your washer/dryer are on your inverter.
>>>>>>>>>> No the washer and dryer are not on the inverter. Only works on shore or gen power.
Further: I really have had some major distractions that have brought my time to keep testing and looking for the problem to a halt. I hope tomorrow I am able to get back to trouble shooting it. I need to check the transfer switch first I guess. It was replaced with a new one about 3 years ago. Am I correct that when I open that up to check it with the meter that I will find two legs coming off of each side of the two automatic switches ? Two 110 legs coming off the Shore Power side and two 110 legs coming off the generator side ?
To review briefly, I've established that the washer and dryer (not powered off the inverter) and everything else that IS powered off that inverter is out I believe. Not sure if it's relevant but the Washer and Dryer are on the same side of the bus that I've mainly got out (passenger side outlets and the toilet air pump also on that side). Microwave IS powered through that inverter and is out.
Thanks in advance for the continued advice. Ahhhh !!! Electrical issues. I see now why auto repair shops hardly ever give a flat rate for fixing an electrical problem. Fun,fun, fun.

Hi Jeff. You should have 240 volts read between the two wires coming into the transfer switch from shore. The transfer switch should be closed and 240 volt should go out to your panel. Be careful.

I have been very slow in carving out time to get to the bottom of the inverter problem but today I noticed that the status changed. The Trace remote panel (inside the bus) no longer says "A/C input Good". The led for "Inverting" is still on (like it was before). The symptoms of what was not working (stated in the prior postings) are the same.
The needle on the meter for that inverter is showing that shore power is being supplied to the side in question.

It could be a loose wire which might explain why it indicates good but the led is reading inverting. Check all of your cord connections and transfer switch connections.
