Ryguy84 welcome and could you tell us a little more about the year and coach number please. Is this a Newell coach or a Newmar?

I had a 2018 Essex and had this issue every time it was in for service. Most of the times the house battery charge had fallen below the minimum voltage for the inverter to function and plugging the coach in for a day or using a trickle charger overnight always solves the issue. If the house batteries are completely charged the check to be sure the inverter is on and you can check that through the silver leaf on the dash with the coach running. My experience with Newmar electrical issues drove me to buy a 10 year old Newell with higher miles and it was the best decision I have ever made. Not that I don’t have issues from time to time but I can call Newell support 24/7 and speak to someone who knows my coach.
The quicker you step away from production coaches the sooner you can start enjoying the resolution of issues!
