The NC contacts do not have equal ampacity as the NO contacts. Spring versus magnetic coil. The coil wins for strength.

Interesting & makes lots of sense, thanks. Just manipulating it by hand gives more pressure on the points when fully closed, as the coil would do. (And I see a contact arm or two needs to be adjusted as well).
Will definitely be running higher Amps under shore power, up to the full 30A with heaters and A/C. The inverter is only 1000W.
So another reason for Shore Power on the NO contacts.
