Hi Jack and Dianna,
Since no two Newell's are alike my thoughts may be useless to you, but here goes anyway.
I am going to assume you are plugged in to 50A power. If you are boondocking with no AquaHot and it's cold, well good luck!
I am able, should I wish, to operate two 1500 watt portable heaters without any inverter use or breaker tripping when plugged into 50A. I found it very useful to know from where each 120VAC outlet in the coach is fed. In other words, what breaker turns each outlet on and off and the rating of the breaker. Good to know what other devices are fed from that breaker. When you understand how power is distributed in your coach you are in a much better position to manage that power yourself. My inverter bypasses when not inverting. In other words, any 120 VAC load on the inverter comes from outside post power, not inverted power make from my house batteries. Then, I also labeled each outlet in the coach as fed from the inverter or not. That way I could plug a heater into an inverter outlet and another into a non-inverter outlet with no issues at all.
