inverter question

Yahoo Message Number: 78038
I lost power to my storage space for about a week. Once power was restored, I plugged my coach in to AC power and the inverter went through the regular charging cycle--bulk, absorbtion and finally after several hours settled into the float mode. However, I am receiving several messages thar I have not seen before. Normally, my message screen alternates between AC voltage and the charge cycle. Now I am also getting a message that reads "sleep .V A" and periodically receive the message "INV OFF Overload". This makes no sense to me since the inverter isn't on because I am plugged into 120V AC. Also, the charging mode reads "Float 13.3V 3A". Normally in float mode I read "Float 13.2V 0A" The inverter is an "Invertrix series 20" in a 2002 Intrigue.
Is it time for a new inverter?

Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here?

Thank-you,

I am not familiar with that brand but have seen similar messages on mine.
I would turn the inverter and charger off and I think mine has a reset button on the inverter.
After leaving it off for a bit turn it back on, all was well again.
I suspect it was overloaded while the shore power was lost and the batteries were low after a week unplugged.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried turning it on & off but am still getting the unusual messages. I do not have a reset button on the inverter

Try disconnecting the panel wiring at the inverter and turn off the inverter at the inverter. There should some type of controls for those with no remote panel.
