sounds like a portable generator ?
what brand what model ?
sounds like the voltage regulation is acting up/not set correctly
130v is a little high but not outside of limits...
but 130+ may be outside the limits.

...tripping the breaker is possibly something, surging (load spiking) on the higher voltage
try turning off the converter charging the batteries and make sure the fridge is on propane (manually set to lp)
some times the electric heating element becomes leaky, and will cause a GFI breaker to trip
or turn off ALL circuit breakers in the 129v electric panel
start generator
plug in
turn on only ONE circuit breaker at a time
excellent troubleshooting plan.
