You could pick up a kil-a watt meter at home depot or lowes. You'd then use that to see how many amps your heater is pulling. Next use it on your converter to see how many amps it is pulling. Very handy for trouble shooting a tripping breaker and other things as well. They are around $30.
If you have a spare slot in your breaker panel, you could install another 15 amp breaker and make it dedicated for your converter and then your outlets would be on their own breaker. In my mind, they should be separate anyway. They are separate in all RV's that I have owned.
OR, if you have a breaker for your refrigerator, you could move the converter wires over to that breaker. The refer will only ever pull 3 amps at most.
