Any electrical experts out there?
I have strange one. I have installed a Xantrex ProWatt 2000 pure sine wave inverter. I plug my shore cord into the inverter and turn off my trailer's converter/charger. All outlets and 110V device...

Newman, I thought of that (too many watts). But, the inverter has error codes and alarms for that. Besides, the vacuum is only rated 1000 watts and the inverter is rated at 2000 watts (1800 sustained). Everything else in the trailer is off (except parasitic loads). I have another vacuum (small shop vac) that works fine. So far, it's only this Shark vac that seems to be a problem.
Rjxj, I assume you mean the DC cables powering the inverter. They are huge (4/0) and maybe 3 or 4 feet max.
I am still thinking it may be a grounding issue but am curious why this vacuum is the only device (so far) that behaves like this.
I would like to try another 1000 watt load, there may be an insulation break down in the vacuum that is tripping the GFI.
