I pulled out my inverter manual & visited our belly. The 00.0 on your display is the measured battery voltage. The 1.37 is the total AC output (in kW). You don't mention the color of your indicator light. Was it green, amber or red? You might also see an Error code, which will shut down the inverter if anything's out of sorts.
Since the inverter doesn't give a reading for your batteries, you should have those checked to make sure they're still good. (Take a pencil, paper & tape to the battery area to label & map the battery cable wiring around & inside the case before removing the batteries.) If the batteries check out good, reinstall them, using your map to reconnect.
*ONLY* if your batts are good: Look for random battery cables coming through the wall from the direction of the inverter. It may be that the inverter was never connected to the batteries, hence the 00.0 reading. Easy fix there.
We leave our inverter on when connected to shore power, but check that it's on when we hook up for travel.
Good luck! ~Maggie
