Everything runs through my inverter.
Thus, even if hooked to shore power, the batteries run everything.
The kids turned the 1500w heater full blast and ran the microwave and TV and lights.
It dropped the batteries low enough(12.1v) everything kicked off and the shore power wouldn't activate the charger. I had to kick start it all with a 60 year old Sears 10amp analog charger. It only dumped 4amps, but it got the relay or whatever was the problem to release. A new digital charger flipped itself off and on and wouldn't stay in charge mode. The overhead bunk was down so I didn't try the chassis battery to see what was up with it.
A glitch of some sort or they turned off the charger, I'll have it looked at during the spring thaw and I'll probably change my idea of running it all through the batteries, and have the switches rewired.
Anyway, charger built into the inverter goes up to 150 amp. It went up to 123amps during this little stress test. Batteries barely even warmed from 54° to never hitting 66° they're just two cheap cheap 24 series. I expected a Squat load of heat... Heat never happened.
