When on House batteries, some outlets don't work

2003 Fleetwood tioga 29V. When I'm on Shore power or generator, all outlets work. When I am on the aux batteries (with inverter on) only a couple outlets have power. I've checked the gfi's and they're all good. Fuses good and no thrown breakers. My limited electrical knowledge leads me to believe the dead outlets somehow get switched off when power switches from shore to house. How can I check for this and how can i get all outlets to work on house power? Thanks in advance!

    INverters only power a few (2-4?) outlets. Mainly for Mr. Coffee or something like that. maybe even the front TV. But be careful...it can drain your coach batteries in just a few hours...if that long.

    g'luck!

    I can only share that I've heard it's common for inverter fed circuits to be few. For example, our '16 Greyhawk only has a 1000 watt inverter. Thus it feeds just one outlet.

    Find your inverter and see how many circuits are coming out.
