Could your inverter be defective? Try devices with increasing loads while engine off/ignition on. My Wahl clipper uses 10 watts, no problems. Find something similar and devices with increasing loads. See what the failure point is. Toyota says that condition allows 100 watts. You can take a failure point below stated to the dealership for warranty.

That is where I was just heading... I spoke to Goal Zero just now and their tech guy told me that the Yeti 1000 is an 80watt wall charger, so the 100watt Tacoma inverter should power this. And for the Tacoma's inverter to shut off with the Yeti in between the bed outlet and the Dometic doesn't make sense.

I have seen diodes catastrophically fail allowing run away voltage in a poorly designed unfused unprotected circuit. Also, not enough. Causing intermittent problems. Those always took longer to troubleshoot.
