The second problem which is addressed in #4 is that the inverter output/input connections are potentially reversed. That is what can cause the inverter to feed back into the breaker panel and potentially energize the shore power connection.
Since you have just the three identified outlets energized when the inverter is on then it's wired correctly. You could always do a quick check on the shore power plug with the inverter on to verify that.

That's my point in the multiple posts above....
As an analogy: If LG recalled all their TVs because the tuner would not receive channel 7, and they instructed the technician to tune to channel 6 and channel 8, with instructions that if 6/8 work, then consider the TV to be OK...... Why not also check channel 7 ?????
It's the same thing with this inverter recall. To initiate a recall for potential 120 volts on exposed shore power connector pins, then to "NOT" check those pins for voltage, but to "check other places and ASSUME there isn't voltage on the connector pins" ????? As easy and as simple as it is to put a multimeter on the exposed pins, either at the trailer receptacle or at the end of the shore power cord, to make sure your trailer isn't "the one with both issues"..... Seems too easy to check and too important to ignore..... YMMV
