I've tried it with all the breakers in the off position inside the RV, and still no luck with the 2,000W inverter. So there are no loads I don't know about.
12.2V to 13.1V at the inverter input connections.
I can run AC loads plugging directly into the inverter, like the lamp, an air compressor, and any number of power tools.

Does the inverter shut down if you plug the 4.5 watt bulb directly into it, instead of through the shore power cord? You might have a load in the RV you don't realize. Water heater was mentioned. Other easily overlooked loads are the fridge and power converter. A basic and necessary troubleshooting step is to measure the DC voltage at the inverter input connections.
