One point that none have touched on is that you may be overloading your gfi. Is it a 20amp gfi or a 15 amp? There was a time that the school of thought was not to plug a microwave into a gfi even in your home. Not sure if that still holds true. I wonder why your inverter even has GFI output on it for your application?
It is a 20 amp GFI so I don't think it is overloading the GFI. No idea why the inverter would have come with a GFI on its output (I sure wish it didn't) - the instructions clearly state that it is to be mounted in a dry area indoors.
Is there no way of distinguishing between a ground fault or overload condition on this inverter? An overload condition is starting to make more sense than a ground fault condition
Edit
I now see the inverter has a standard gfci output, which when trips should easily be distinguishable from O/L condition.
On a different note, the inverter is limited to 15 amps, not 20 from my reading of the manual.
At this point I would have to agree with Mexs take on this.
