the start-up 'in rush' of amperage is the issue
Ford's ProPower and it's INVERTER uses an electronic-based FUSE as the 'breaker', versus the typical home breaker type: this means that ANY amperage over the 30 amp max will automatically and instantly 'trip' the FUSE - which requires a simple push-button reset.
the start-up of large-load devices and tools does not necessarily work well with ProPower, unless, as you've learned, the in-rush amperage is lower than the overall Max Amperage of the circuit(s)... whether 240v or 120v.
Interestingly, too, what some of us have tested, and learned, is that the 120v outlets in the bed, drawing off the same 240v/120v INVERTER, are ALSO all capable of 30 amps, although you won't see that anywhere in the documentation...
