Update: Bus1 is live and operational, at a whopping 15 amps. Just for testing purposes, I am going to add another 15 amp line onto Bus1. First test will be checking if it will actually hold a 3600 watt load. But in the end, I will end up moving the additional cord to Bus2.

Reason for this is I have a space heater that calls for 1500 watts, but the owners manual says it needs a dedicated 15amp circut, which is 1800, not 1500. I am guessing the heater must surge when it first comes on to 1800, so the heater will stay on Bus2 by itself.

All in all, a satisfying experience finishing it this way. I will still have the 30amp cord on standby in case I decide to upgrade on the road.
