In a pure resistive load, yes. Motors will pull more current than their claimed wattage dictates. You need to pay attention to current draw and volt/amps. Your shore power delivers 3600va.

"It must go around only one wire," Oh D'uh! Yes, of course, and the shore cord would have to be unbundled from at least one plug end to make that happen. Thank you for pointing that out.
