Do a series of tests over the next week, checking different things as you go, and try to cross verify all readings. Don't rush it.
This is why it's important to know what is "normal" for your system... eliminates a lot of guess work, and perhaps some unwarranted purchases. And let's face it, those charger/inverter combos are big bucks... one reason I personally would never go with a combo unit.
There may also be a very sudden voltage drop... too fast to notice, that may be actually dropping Vbatt lower than it appears, but for only a short moment. This could be causing the inverter to shut down. And undersized wiring/line loss would only exacerbate the issue.
