Question about inverter use and power draw on batteries

I will apologize right off the bat - this is both probably a newbie question - and also a bit convoluted. So my brand new 1995 Lance has two 12v outlets... I was trying to run a 150W inverter ...

End result.
It's the voltage the inverter is seeing at any load. Even my Blue Seas sockets are really only good for 15 amperes without the socket and plug heating up. The included Samlex pigtail for their 300 watt inverter is the same way, try and get 300 watts and the lighter socket connection is going to scream bloody murder, and do a Lucas Electric Ltd.
