Your inverter is not "whole house" but just runs some things off a "sub-panel." You just need to re-arrange what 120v things the inverter will run.
One way is to go "whole house" by plugging the shore power cord into the inverter. Do shut off the converter to prevent that loop business, and put the WH on gas. The regular Norcold will pull maybe 14 amps on inverter, but a res 120v fridge might only want 7 amps.
Whatever, you need to do some power management to get the things you want to run off inverter to run and not the other things.
You don't need a sub-panel to prevent yourself from turning on the air conditioner that the inverter cannot run. Just don't turn on the air conditioner.
