Montana ft inverter, trying to figure it out

I can't figure out the inverter for the residential style Samsung fridge in my 2017 Montana. I know that there's a disconnect switch specifically for the inverter, I know there's an on/off button on the inverter, and... I think that's everything to the inverter that I know about. So, basically I turn it on, it reads the voltage of the battery on the display, then it flashes "0.0" then reads the voltage again and it keeps alternating like that. Not sure what that means. I'm not getting any power from the inverter's outlets. I've tried a phone charger and it also didn't work, maybe the inverter is broken?

Not to sound like a jerk. But are the batteries charged up? Connected? Did you have the dealer install additional batteries? Does your inverter read anything besides 0.0?

If you did sound like a jerk, I deserve it this time lol. So it was none of those things. It just helps if you push the reset button on your gfci outlet on the inverter, and when you do so a little green light illuminates in the corner of the outlet to let you know that it does actually have power. So the fridge works now with the inverter. In my defense it's a little hard to see and impossible to read the buttons with where it is.

Green light good. Yellow light good. Red light bad. At least that's how it is with my OEM inverter and residential fridge.

Sounds way too complicated to me. Plus I'm guessing none of this is in a convenient place to get to? Just curious, because I can see the DW wanting a residential fridges in the future.

Glad it's working for you!
