Turning On Imverter
We have a 2019 3761fl and I can't get the inverter to turn on by pushing the button on the inverter. It is a Magnum Pure Sine Wave Inverter CSW 1012.
I believe it is used for the Samsung Residential Refrigerator.
What am I missing on turning on the inverter when traveling long distances?

There's should be a large power cut-off switch for the inverter in the battery compartment. Check that and make sure it's has juice flowing to the inputs of the inverter.

what jetskier said,
and...
With ours I have had instances where the inverter should be turning on but for some reason it would take a min or two to get happy before powering on. It would have power but the button on the inverter wouldn't do anything. I'd just press it to the off position, give it a couple min then try it again and it'd work. Probably happened 3 times in 3 years; very annoying.

The GFI on the inverter is a pain too. You might want to make sure it's not tripped.

The power cut off switch in the battery compartment was broken. No current getting through. Actually when I tried to twist it to the on position it came off in my hand. We have had the Montana a year today and the switch has never been touch before. I wonder if it was delivered to us in that condition. Anyway, I got another switch, installed it and it powered the inverter up. Thanks for the reply "jetskier". It helped track down the problem.

Check the circuit breaker on the side of the inverter.

That's funny, Sumri. I had the same broken disconnect on delivery of our unit. Took about 3 months for CW to get it replaced. I had one from Amazon in 2 days. I ended up putting the one I ordered on the negative battery connection for a full disconnect.
