Ok.... you are now officially all over the map!!!!!!!!!!
That breaker is for your Converter / Charger and not your Inverter. Now, I will give you a pass because Thor is not a lot of help when it comes to this stuff. The breaker above it that is labeled "TV Receptacles" is actually the breaker to the Inverter Input. That is the circuit for the Inverter AC input, cab-over TV, outdoor TV. and the fridge when the coach is under shore or generator power.
The breaker in your picture is for your WFCO Converter / Charger. The Converter provides 12V to your coach lights, USB charge ports, etc. It also charges the house batteries (and chassis batteries).
When is this breaker tripping? On shore power.... generator power... or both?
On the back of your Power Distribution Panel (breaker box) under your bed is an AC outlet. The WFCO Converter plugs into that outlet and is controlled by that breaker.
Now I am going to assume you don't have an Inverter problem.... but you would still have two different problems. One with your oven / generator issue and one with your Converter.
I'm not a fan of WFCO personally. I had issues with my Converter and immediately replaced it with a better one from Progressive Dynamics. The Converter does have reverse polarity fuses on the Converter itself but the fact the breaker trips tells me it is an AC and not a DC issue. It could be a defective Converter or it could be a wiring problem in the Power Distribution Panel for that outlet and breaker. It could also be a bad breaker. It would be easy to replace the breaker as a troubleshooting step.
I would still get the Outlet Tester I referenced in my earlier post. I would then remove the mattress and remove the panel to gain access to the electronics bay under the bed and the Converter.
You will see the power cord running from the silver rectangular box (that's the converter) to the outlet on the back of your breaker box. I would test that outlet with the tester to make sure it has been wired properly by Thor.
Now it is very possible you have a defective Converter that your dealer would need to replace under warranty. When I was under warranty, I was able to get Thor Warranty Support to ship me a new Converter so I could replace it myself and not wait months for a dealer to do it. I had to send the defective one back. I kept the new one as a spare and installed the better Progressive Dynamics Converter.
.... and after all that.... this still has nothing to do with the oven / generator issue.
