Without power on that orange wire the inverter would not invert - the inverter panel inside would "appear" to function but without that orange trigger wire being hot it wouldn't invert. I found this out after a trip where the rig disconnect was off but inverter panel said it was on and inverting, it wasn't and fridge was off. Luckily we didn't lose any food before I figured this out.
I'm not sure the reasoning behind the trigger wire. I've read of some installs (not rv) where the trigger wire was just a jumper from the heavy gauge 12v input side of the inverter, therefore as long as the feed to the inverter is hot it works.

Interesting, I wonder if that is a difference between my 2019 and the 2021 setups?
