I then plugged a portable heater (12.0 amps) into another outlet and both the AC and heater worked at the same time on a 30 amp circuit. I am guessing the purpose is to protect the inverter and connecting to shore power was not considered. Not a big deal as long as we know how it works.

I have not been able to get schematics or wiring diagrams on where the "load shedding" is connected from Thor. "They are unable to get them."

The only thing I might add is that on "startup" the AC amps can be quite a bit higher when compressor kicks in. Could be that the load shedding device only works when using inverter and not really sure? Great information!
