I bought a 2000w Nature Power pure sine inverter from camping world. I had my local rv dealer install the inverter (and a power tongue jack) that I bought a CW. It was $200 in parts and $500 in ...

Three possible answers.
1: Inverter is too far from the batteries. You want it as close as possible without actually breathing the same air.

3: This one is a multi parter.. Bad (Dirty) connection or bad batteires not putting out as well as they should. Take two voltage measurements under load
One at the batteires. one at the inverter.
