There might be a fuse in the 12 volt plug of your inverter that may have blown.

Hoo boy. Yeah. Even if you had a big enough fuse, and big enough wire. Your battery(ies) won't last long with that kind of load.

Check the fuses again with a multimeter. That kettle is rated at 1500W, which is 125A @ 12V. I would be really surprised if the fuse didn't blow. The only way that's going to work is to wire a socket directly to the battery, and then the battery isn't going to last very long.

I have a 2014 182G and I plugged a small inverter into the 12 Volt lighter plug that is on the same wall as the TV and all was good until I plugged a

Cordless Electric Kettle, 1-3/4 Qt, 8-7/8H  

and now the 12 Volt plug does not work.  I checked all the fuses and they all look good.  Does anyone know if this plug has it's own fuse, maybe on the back of it?
