AFAIK the usual 3000w inverter will have 15a AC worth in two receptacles, which you can do with a 2000w inverter. To get more from the 3000w , you need to plug something separately into another of its (three is common, can have four) receptacles.
I am unclear on the concept, so asking what happens with the 3000w that has hard wire output to your RV's 120v panel? How do you get all 3000w? Is the hard wire 30a to connect to your 30a or 50a RV?
Meanwhile on what is a good 3000w inverter for a decent price, this one is (at least the 2000w is), but is not for hard wiring. I have the 2000w version and so does at least one other member here, and we are happy after two years so far doing whole house. No need for a 3000w.

The outlets on an inverter are rated for the same as a standard household outlet, from what I understand. That's fine for the most part, but for convenience, I want to be able to just run everything like normal in my RV, except the air conditioner. That means having to hard wire it into the RV electrical. To do that, you either have to wire it directly to your breaker panel, or figure out a way to plug your shore power cable into the inverter, which involves installing a 30 or 50 amp receptacle that you wire to the high output terminal that some inverters come with. This allows you to use the full range of the inverter and also all of your AC outlets in the RV. I will be pairing it with lithium iron phosphate batteries that can safely handle high loads.
