i remember posts by several members, where they had problems, the electric heater quit working while on shore power
yes..they had plugged it into an outlet from the inverter, the inverter had pass thru..so it was powered by shore power..until the circuit breaker on the inverter tripped
IIRC .. it seems there was one, who lost shore power during the night, the heater stayed on running on inverter
the electric heater depleted the batteries running on inverter, and he awoke to a cold RV, and had No electric heat, and no battery power for the LP furnace blower and controls
