Failure happened between generator time, and pedestal connection?

The manual says in by-pass mode, the AC input is passed to the AC output.
It says if in by-pass and overloaded, it will shut down and show error code 03. Some other shutdowns too.
It all could be he has too many things on for that inverter (20a max) thinking he is on 50a shore power. He is not, he is on inverter 20a and must reduce the load.
It says how to restart the inverter after a shutdown with a the load now reduced.

OK I read the installation instructions in that manual linked above. (But not the rest) It has an AC input port and AC output ports for hard wiring besides the receptacles.
The AC input needs a 30a breaker (not supplied) so is that connected so his 55a charger can work from shore power? (120v I assume)
Is there a wire from the output port to the breakers the original inverter used or to a sub-panel?

Amazingly bad reviews here (lots of failures):

Is there also a second receptacle for the microwave? Can the whole rig be put on original breaker panel, forget the inverter?
The gen ran the fridge when the fridge was in the inverter receptacle, so what else does the gen run and not run?
One reviewer said the charger still worked after the inverter part quit. The manual linked above must have how you get 120 to the charger (haven't read it yet) Did the charger get 240v?
What was plugged into the inverter receptacles and where did that go--sub-panel like Mr Wiz suspects?

With two outlets for the fridge it would seem the system is not fully integrated into the electric system. You have two separate systems. This is why power does not pass through. You need another transfer switch to automatically select the correct plug for the fridge. Otherwise YOU are the transfer switch. Now with the inverter out of commission I am not sure if that inverter/transfer switch will work or not.
In the mean time the battery is desperate for a charge. Get a 10+ amp portable battery charger on the battery asap while you sort this out.
Eventually I recommend a replacement stand alone inverter for the fridge, separate converter to charge batteries, separate transfer switches to fully integrate utility power, inverter, and the generator. Reconnect wire as needed to make it all work proper as would be expected by a non-engineer user.
