Hooray, the GFCI replacement with a Leviton from HD fixed the problem and all outlets are working again. The water leak / cracked threaded PEX connector is having to wait until after a campsite change and a doctor visit for my wife. Too much stress to deal with already for both of us. I will fix it Saturday, weather permitting.
Thanks for all the help and advice! You guys are the best!!

I spent about a half hour on the phone with an excellent tech support person this evening. The problem is resolved, but it did take a hard reset. Here is the process as best I remember. He started by having me disconnect just the phone line for the remote panel for about 30 seconds, and then reconnected it. No go. The panel still had the fatal error.
Next, we tried the power button on the end of the inverter (between the green light and the phone jacks). Pressed and held it for 15 seconds. No change in the panel error.
Next, killed the 50A power, toggled the power button. No change in the remote panel. Inverter went into action at some point and lit lights and outlets (had a fan, Roku, and a small 1500W heater plugged in). Then turned off the House Disconnect rotary switch in the battery bay which disconnected the Inverter from the House batteries. Waited 5 minutes. Then reversed the process (turned on the House Disconnect rotary switch and turned on 50A power. And voila', the panel error went away and the inverter started charging. Big sigh of relief!! And many thanks to Magnum for walking me thru it.
I asked if my intermittent 120V water heater problem cutting off might have triggered the fatal error, but the technician didn't think so.
I also want to mention a big THANK YOU to both Scotty and Tom who responded with information, suggestions, and your own experience. I was feeling pretty rattled. Sometimes just knowing that someone else has had the problem and worked it thru to a resolution is what it takes to be able to sleep at night. Y'all are the BEST !!!!
