Two inverters for 50 amp service
We have a Go Power IC Series 3000 watt inverter and 50 amp service on our 5th wheel. I have 2 complaints about it that I wasn't aware of when it was installed. The monitor panel only monitors Line...

I did the load share test while plugged into a 15 amp outside outlet while we had a short stay at my wife's daughter's home. And I was pleasantly surprised. Nights got down to the low 50s. Line 2 load ran 4 to 5 amps, so I set the load share limit to 8 amps. (Remember now that the GoPower load share only limits current draw on Line 1.) I then turned on the charger part of the GoPower inverter (per GoPower) and set the heat pump thermostat to 70° (heat pump is on Line 1). I also adjusted the charge rate to 10%. When the heat pump ran, it drew about 20 amps from the batteries and when the heat pump was off, the charger was putting about 20 amps back into the batteries. I did have a net loss of about 60 ah overnight as the heat pump run time exceeded the off time.
I hope my explanation makes sense.
