120 VAC devices and outlets will work through an Inverter if, and only if, the inverter is turned on. You do not mention whether you turned on the inverter and there is an issue but it appears from your post that you assume there is one and it is always on.

If you haven't done so you need to locate the inverter's power swith and make sure it is on. The switch/control panel may be located next to a Maxnum AGS switch. I attached a picture of the control panel that was in the previous coach (Challenger). You are looking for the control panel label Xantrex (top left).

If you have verified the Inverter is turned on disregard this post.



As a note, the inverter itself is more than likely mounted in a storage compartment next to your battery bay. Mine was mounted on the storage compartment ceiling.
