you'll need to help us help you by giving us more details:

- the did new inverter WORK after you installed it

I'm not sure why you would have replaced it, and maybe that's not 'today's' issue, but most of us would like to know, especially since you stated that "I am not familiar with this stuff..."

if you are plugged into Shore power, the Inverter simply provides PASS THRU 120v power to the 'sub-panel' of outlets that it powers - generally the FRIDGE, of course, and probably all the outlets you have in your coach, including the microwave. So, if you are not getting power to those outlets, and you have no breakers tripped in your panel, then you could either:

- have a tripped breaker on the Inverter itself(sometimes just a small 'push button' type)
- have lost the 12v power TO the Inverter, which will cause it to shut off and not operate, and not provide any pass-thru power, either... maybe a loose wire on one of the batteries, or the main battery cable to the Inverter

- it is also possible that you have lost a connection within your ATS(Automatic Transfer Switch), which might mean you have lost one 'side' of your incoming Shore or Gen power, which could be the same 'side' that feeds the Pass-thru 120v power to the Inverter - though in that situation you would probably still have a working Inverter, UNLESS the loss of power at the dealership drove down the batteries so low that now there is not enough to even power the Inverter's remote panel, or the Inverter itself. Inverters want to see 12v of power, and when they don't, they have a point at which they completely shut off.
