Microwave and TV Power - Need help troubleshooting
I'm getting power to the MH. The microwave and both TV's in living room and bedroom went completely out. I was plugged into shore power when they went out. Any ideas/advise? Thank you.

Because you have lost a considerable number of outlets and devices, you have likely lost one side of your 50 Amp service. If you can reach a different 50 amp receptacle from your unit, even with a 50 amp extension, try that.
Your power comes into the panel on two sides of your breaker panel. If all your losses are on one side of a double sided board, you have lost one side. If all your losses are every second receptacle in the panel board, you have lost one side.
It's either that way on the plug in outside, or something in your plug or in your panel has become disconnected.
Further to your problems, your inverter will be fed from only one side of your 50 amp panel, so it is very likely that because of your dimming lights, either the inverter has not got enough power from the failing circuit, or if as others have said, it's a flow through inverter, then the feed through the inverter has a loose wire in it possibly.
Do a circuit by circuit analysis of your panel to determine if all the bad things are on one side of your 50 amp service first, then get competent help with that knowledge in hand. Do not replace anything until you figure out why it is not working properly.
Thanks for the information. This is helpful.
