We can run two 1500's in our coach, overnight, if nothing else but the Converter is running. They have to be on two separate circuits, and by that I mean different breakers. I stress that because RV builders are very circuit-stingy. We had an extra slot in our breaker section. Load Center's mounted on the bed pedestal so I used that slot to add a breaker that goes only to an outlet for a bedroom heater.
I learned via another OP that a pair of electric heaters is very taxing on the 30A system, and it often shows up where the flexible shore tie splices into the hard wire of the coach. Fortunately this OP's RV was a Winnebago and was able to pinpoint a possible point of failure. Had him find that box and open it up. Wire nut connections fried! He called the tech to cancel the service call still a couple days out, and tech told him what I repeated above,
