Renogy 2000 watt inverter issue

[COURTCOP]

I am curious if anyone has had this issue and what the problem might be. I have a 2019 Heartland Prowler 34 footer and I installed a 2000 watt renogy inverter running off of 2 100 amp hour Lithium Iron phosphate batteries. Connections go into an Auto transfer switch then out of the switch to the main 30 amp breaker on the breaker box just the way it was hooked up before with straight AC power going to the main breaker originally. Anyways, the inverter runs fine except I have to switch off the GFCI breaker in the rv breaker panel or it trips the inverter. You can hear it wind up so to speak before it trips. If I turn the breaker off all is good except no power to the GFCI outlets in the kitchen and bathroom . Inverter is grounded to negative bus bar and installation seems to be spot on except that it trips if the GFCI breaker is energized. If I just install regular outlets where the GFCI outlets are would that resolve my problem or would I have to get a new regular breaker as well ? Thanks to anyone if you would like to give your 2 cents worth of advice here I would totally appreciate it. Thank you in advance !!!!

UPDATE MAY 22, 2025.........What I did to fix my issue is I switched the power supply for the GFC I outlets to its own breaker which I bought and installed. Now All I have to shut off before I use my inverter is the converter breaker and I have power to all my outlets in the rig. Hope this helps anybody trying to do what I did in getting your inverter to light up all outlets instead of just a few.....

In our 2018 Road Warrior, our GFCI outlets do not have a GFCI breaker in line in the breaker box. There is only a GFCI outlet in the bathroom and garage area. We don't have an issue with the GFCI outlets tripping offline with our solar setup.

I would consider switching out the breakers first, that way the circuit would still be GFCI protected.

There is a reason why we all have GFI protected receptacles in "wet locations" and that is to protect us from electrical shock. If you change out your GFI for a regular receptacle you will loose that protection and risk physical harm.
If your GFI continues to trip there is a problem somewhere and you need to identify and correct the problem.

I totally get it. I'm going to just shut off my converter and my GFCI outlets when I use the inverter that's the easiest solution.... other than that it works great !!!!
