Moving a circuit to the Inverter subpanel
Not so much asking how here, but wondering about any repercussions. In my 2019 Winnie I have a 2KW pure sine inverter, with it's own subpanel. The subpanel powers all my outlets, except one! And this ...

You now run the risk of tripping the breakers on the inverter, a common problem in the winter when electric heaters are used on a circuit from the inverter sub-panel. Your inverter has a transfer switch which is protected by two circuit breakers hidden on it.
To add to this, your inverter passes through shore power to the subpanel. On a 2000 watt inverter this is probably limited 30 amps even though you are connected to 50 amp shore power.
This outlet would let you run a heater without taxing this 30 amp limit.
I did take this into consideration. I will be limited to a 30A subpanel breaker. But the only reason I wanted this particular outlet on the subpanel was to power PC's, tablets etc. It's the only outlet convenient to the dinette. I have other outlets at the kitchen counter to run coffee pots etc. I don't see ever running a heater, since there is an electric fireplace nearby. (which has it's own separate circuit on the main)
