If the motorhome is happy with a normal mains hookup it should be equally happy being supplied by either a generator or an inverter, as long as they are correctly wired and producing the correct voltage.
The only precaution to take would be to ensure no more appliances draw current than the inverter or generator can comfortably supply.
If the inverter is correctly wired and connected and the load is within limits and nothing is happening, the obvious conclusion is the inverter is not producing current.
I suggest you check the inverter is actually working and producing current and if all is good reexamine how it is connected...

There is a problem with main supply board .The electronic part called capacitor 2200uf 10v .There are 4 of them on that board when they all get defective thats where the problem is.Want to know more can email me.

There isn't a fuse. You are going to need to remove the cover on the opener and find out where you are losing the power. Maybe a neighbor has a volt meter you could use. I would check the power cord and then the logic board. Makes no sense but I would check for burnt or missing traces on the printed circuit board especially around that small transformer.

Check and test your voltage output first. It could be your output voltage is 110V, 220V, GND, Chassis(equipment) ground. In reference to Ground point.
Or its output is 110V, 110V, GND, and chassis gnd. Where you have to connect the two 110V output to have 220V output. Then taking 110V - GND to have the 110V.
Check your service voltage for your equipment. So you can wire your system according to your equipment needs.
And green wire should connect to equipment ground.
If your rooms is small in area a two 20A breaker should covered it. And the other one could be SPARE circuit. But still it depends on your needs.
And the last when you got the 25 volts. That might be you only got the neutral point(leak voltage) if I remember it right. Or you have only 1 test point that is live and its connection is loosely attached. Or check your breaker contact.
Hope this helps.

DO NOT DO THIS! If I understand you correctly you want to have three ways to have 110 power in your motor home--- (1)Vehicle 12V to inverter to main panel. (2)Generator to main panel. (3)plug the main panel into 110V. If any two of these are connected at the same time and they are both live, somethings going to blow. That's because with AC, the two sources must be synchronized in their cycles very precisely. The utility company connects their power plants together on the grid only with the aid of precise controls. But the really serious problem is the same reason they invented transfers switches for home generators -- if you were connected to (3) and the power went out, and you connected (1) or (2) without disconnecting the dead (3), you will backfeed power to the line outside and you just might kill the lineman who is trying to fix the power outage.

COULD BE THAT YOU HAVE A BAD BREAKER OR A BAD GFIC .. USE A VOLT METER AND START AT THE BREAKER , GFI THEN OUTLETS . I THINK YOU HAVE A BAD BREAKER, JUST CUZ IT LOOKS GOOD DON'T MEAN IT AINT BAD ! TEST = VOLT METER $ 10 AT AUTO PART STORE... GOOD LUCK AND I'FN I WAS ANY HELP, PRAISE IS APPRECIATED .. SO VOTE JAY MOTORWIZJ
Testimonial: "Thanks as it is a Breaker. Guess clicking it on and off is not always the right thing to do. Many Thanks Dean Budd "
