I recently installed a new 1500 watt pure sine inverter, and now we can use the microwave without having to start the big generator first. The Yamaha is usually running in the evenings when we’re out dry-camping anyway. The inverter needs about 93 amps of DC to run the microwave. When the generator is running, about 50 amps is supplied by the TC battery, and the rest is supplied by the generator through the campers converter/charger.
I’ve even run the microwave or coffee maker a few times off of the single group 31 AGM battery for 10-15 minutes with no generator running. The inverter is also used to run the refrigerator while we’re driving, and a heavy-duty charge circuit from the truck keeps up with the draw from the inverter.
:):)
Can you let us know the details on this inverter? I've had a hell of a time finding an inverter that actually lives up to the claimed specs. That thing is a beast!
