Yep. I went overboard with 1,000 watts. I have a 300 watt, and it doesn't pass the muster. A 600 watt unit may be the Goldilocks. As far as the microwave goes, I guess sometimes we gotta remember we're "camping".
I think the way to go is with the inverter microwaves. They apparently actually reduce the power load when you turn down the cook power rather than just cycle full power on and off. So you can dial the cook power down until it is low enough for your inverter to run it. But you also have access to a full power microwave if you're on hookups. I don't own one, but many times I've considered updating our microwave so we could run it off the inverter. Then, like you say, I remember that we're supposed to be camping.
