Samlex Inverter Power Draw Question

Yesterday at above 95 degrees while we were at a day park the generator would not start. I used the inverter instead just long enough to run the air compressor for tubing. Today, another hot one at about 95°, I tried running the microwave while plugged into our outdoor extension cord on a 20 amp circuit. It blew the circuit. The PD charger was running hot with the fan on constantly. So I unplugged it and ran the microwave and again the time remaining dropped fast to 23 minutes and 13.3 volts. It appeared to bounce back to 25 min just running the fridge and any additional loads. I was surprised the micro circuit was tripping with the charger running in the heat.
The Samlex peaks at 6000 amps for 8ms.
I’m not going to try to run the air from the inverter. I am waiting for morning when it’s cooler to see if there is a problem with the generator. We will have electric hookups this week so won’t need either the inverter or the generator until next week.
