Does the inverter have enough capacity to support all of the outlets?
The answer is maybe. Remember the load has nothing to do with how many outlets you have. As long as you do not have an appliance plugged into it and turned on, there is zero power consumed.
But, I will say, it is very common to only have certain outlets powered by the inverter, on the assumption that not everyone is "electric savvy".
Of course the number of outlets does not determine the load, but putting ALL outlets on the inverter means the microwave, the fridge, the TV and associated equipment, possibly the water heater, now all have access to inverter power along with what ever else the OP wants to plug in. Can the inverter sustain the various combinations of those loads? Will the OP be aware enough to insure he doesn't overload the inverter, even inadvertently? If the added bedroom load is something like a CPAP machine for example, would he want to risk having it shut off in the middle of the night when an uncontrolled load like the fridge heater kicked on? Since the bedroom outlet seems to be the only one of concern lacking power, I think it would make more sense to only add that one to the existing inverter loads.
