Help with bedroom outlets on inverter

Ha! Ha! Quite a drive from Colorado!

Once I find the right wires, then I move them, still no need to remove the circuit board?

Yeah, the open circuit is strange...

You will only need to move wire from one breaker to another. Just remember, when you do that, the other outlets will then no longer work on inverter power so just check every outlet/device before you do that so you know what you're giving up, in order for bedside outlets to work (and for sure others will also be enabled)

I would also fix the wire on breaker #8 and ensure it is fully inserted. There is a lot of bare copper showing.
Good eye, and agree it should be fixed to help protect against a possible short circuit.
Also, is that an unattached ground wire with the paper insulation on it?(above and left of the red main leg wire)

Frigging GREAT catch, the damn wires were falling out... I literally pulled them out just by tugging them... We could've had a major problem... Now they're secured...

Checked that ground, looks like it was off a ground that is grounded 😁.

Great find, THANK YOU!!! Dang, now it makes me wonder what else needs to be checked! Glad we looked, glad y'all saw all the issues, and we may have a pathway to fixing our inverter issue.

Awesome!!!

Thanks All!!!

Glad you were able to address this.
When we took delivery, I check the torque on any electrical connection that I could find. Both Ac and Dc. I found numerous loose connections at the breaker panel, hots, netural’s and grounds. As well as the 12 volts buss bar in our front compartment. This doesn’t take much time and reduces the chance of chasing electrical gremlins in the future.

I check all of these connections every year as part of my recurring maintenance. Doesn't take long to do
