My 2001 Dolphin...has a CONverter and and INverter. The INverter, after all these years is starting to fail. Exactly what the OP describes.
In my Dolphin, 2 outlets in the front...the one under the dash by the passenger seat and the one where the coffee maker is plugged in. It also controls the very very front where the TV and such are...and for same strange reason the 2 outlets in the BEDROOM. (Don't ask me)
In the past year, I've had maybe 3 failures where the INverter circuit breakers had to be re-set...and once where my RV dealer, on the phone, told me to un-plug it, let it sit for a minite or two...the plug it back in to allow it to reboot.
This spring, the INverter is being bypassed...by removing it. Seeing I have little talent for electrics, my RV mech is doing the job and assures me I will have no problems with that circuit.
Pricing, on the 'net, a new INverter....wow. $14-1500 for something I simply have never used (like for the coffee maker).
