More than one, prolly 12V pads. So potentially >3A current draw.
When plugged into shorepower, no problem. Your progressive converter will handle it.
When travelling, it's a toss-up. Depends upon whether there are other 12V loads, and how well your tow vehicle's alternator is at providing current to the RV. When necessary, I run my single pad heater all the time when towing, but I know that my tow vehicle's charging system can provide the amps.
When Boondocking, don't use them. Your 2 GC2s will be quickly depleted, unless you have some other source of energy like a generator or lots of solar.
