When on inverter power GFCI won't reset
I have the wierdest issue and this is a new install but I believe it to be correct. I have an automatic switch that will default to shore power by default, and if there is no shore power available ...

You just joined. You need to post Year/Brand/Model of RV and Brand and Model of the Inverter to get help.
GFCI sense the balance between the WHITE(Neutral wire) and BLACK (Hot wire). When the current is balanced the GFCI transmits 120 power. When there is an Imbalance(You standing in water and have an electric appliance that would electrocute you) The current runs thru you and there is an imbalance of power between White and Hot. The GFCI senses this and trips. There is no such thing as Crappy GFCI's in RV's. Inverters will put out enough Voltage to power thru a GFCI, especially a 2000 watt Inverter. As another poster mentioned, you need to pull the GFCI and make sure the Power IN is connected to the Input of the GFCI and the Output is connected to the output of the GFCI. It will really help to know Model and Brand of your Inverter. Also, are you using the Inverter to power the complete RV when not connected to shore Power? Doug
