Magnum MS 2812 Charger/Inverter Issue
I have a 3 year old Coach with the above system. It’s monitored/controlled by a Firefly system, thus, no Magnum Energy Remote Controller which I hate. Inverter works going down the road, and Charg...

why do I still get power to my non-inverter circuits such as washer/dryer and AIr Conditioners?
Do you have power to these all the time when on shore power? Or only initially?
Like I said, on mine, the hot relay shorted - essentially the hot leads from the shore power were connected to the hot leads from the generator power.
When power is applied from the generator side, the delay is initiated then the neutral relay switches over to the generator neutral - everything is happy and works.
When power is applied from the shore side, the delay is initiated then the neutral relay switches over to the generator neutral - now the hot and neutral is not matched and the problem occurs. All power is lost and the inverter thinks it's not connected to anything and turns on supplying power from the batteries. When it does this, the neutral relay drops back to shore neutral and now there is matched power in the hot and neutral supplies starting the cycle again.
This may not be what is happening in your case, but if you notice the inverter/charger continually cycling, I bet it's something similar.
If you know where your transfer switch is, open the cover and inspect the relays, you'll notice signs of overheating if this is your problem.
One of the first things I did. All Transfer switch wiring is perfect and torque is as well.
Power comes thru for non-inverter circuits every time on shore power. No issues with that.
