Two inverters for 50 amp service
We have a Go Power IC Series 3000 watt inverter and 50 amp service on our 5th wheel. I have 2 complaints about it that I wasn't aware of when it was installed. The monitor panel only monitors Line...

I don’t see that as a problem at all. While on shore power the 2 inverters are synchronized. If not on shore power the 2 inverter outputs are derived from the batteries and not the inverters AC inputs.
While you are correct the problem is the rating of the Neutral Wire..
Normally the neutral carries only the difference between L-1 and L-2 So if you have 20 amps on L-1 and 14 on L-2 the neutral hauls only six amps.. IF the two inverters are properly phased.. Same thing.
if they are not then the Neutral in this case can haul anywhere from the same six up to 34 amps and with two 3,000 watt inverters up to 50 amps... Should not be a problem but I do not like to "Test the ratings" on wires. That's a good way to have some folks show up for a house call (The Fire Dept).
