but yes, the quickest and simplest work around is to plug in an extension cord to run whatever other items you wish...

Do you have an inverter that is wired into your Main breaker panel, and supports only a single breaker - or is the inverter simply providing a direct line to only one outlet?
Seems like a combination of both to be honest, but I'm having trouble making sense of it (I haven't unhooked and dug into the wiring yet).

Here's what I have currently:

According to the drawing I received from Thor, all my non-GFCI outlets are on circuit 3A. If I turn breaker 3A off, it kills all of those non-GFCI outlets that aren't on the inverter. It also kills the power feed incoming to the inverter (shore or generator).

I'm not too familiar with how inverters are wired, but it seems that the 3A circuit is incoming 120V to the non-inverter outlets and the inverter itself and then the inverter outlets are wired directly from the inverter output. I only have two locations of duplex outlets and the single outlet for the fridge that are non-GFCI and are not on the inverter.

Does that make sense/is that a typical install?
