I would imagine one consideration also is 'where' to wire this 'new' device within your circuit/breaker box. I suppose it could use the same outlet as the microwave, though the wiring up to that outlet might be exposed.
With our Palazzo, the 33.3 model, there is a outlet under the booth seat, that feeds from under the kitchen cabinets, which might work. There is also an outlet just to the left of the stove, in each bunk, which is fed thru a chase hole under the rear of the bunks.

Either way, if you use an existing outlet, you'll then have to be cognizant that this 'large draw' appliance will now share that circuit with those devices, AND be on the INVERTER, which is probably not designed to handle the 'heat' load, unless you have more batteries.
Of course, that doesn't mean you 'have' to run it on the Inverter, but it WOULD give you that option, even off grid, with no shore power or generator running.
You could, of course, run a new circuit all the way back to the breaker panel, but then you'd have to decide what current breaker to replace it with. One idea would be the 'engine block heater' breaker, which we rarely, if ever, have used, though that would mean you'd have to be on shore or generator to power the cooktop.
