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...

GFI only trip when two much current is being pulled out of plug as in current which equates to watts P=ei or power is equal to voltage times current OR
your device has a ground issue directly to the plug. plugged into an inverter can bypass or isolate the ground issue as the inverter will mask it.
I think there's some strange grounding issue. There's no way the vacuum + parasitic draws are exceeding the inverter's capacity (2000 watts peak and 1800 continuous). Besides, such an overload would exhibit different behavior with error codes on the display and an alarm.
It's most likely something in the grounding BETWEEN the trailer and the vacuum because the vacuum works fine from the inverter as long as the trailer is not also plugged into the inverter.
