"He put a 3 way switch in the camper (shore power/inverter/battery)."
-(My theory remains that there are other loads besides the MW.)
-How can a three way switch can have two 120v inputs and one 12v input (battery) and one output? Is it a transfer switch and sub-panel or a pass-through with internal transfer switch or just what?
-IMO, OP should take the time to run each circuit one at a time on each input and diagram it all so he is up to speed before dealing with the installer again.
-Several cases posted where the OEM 120v circuit breakers were labelled wrong. You have to confirm those as the owner anyway. "Know your rig."
