Okay here are some details: I don't really do what most would consider "cooking" but I currently use a propane stove with a pan for simple stuff like making an omelet, frying eggs, popcorn. I'll be fishing then so I'll use it for cooking fish too. I won't have a microwave oven when traveling so I'll also use it for the things that I currently use a microwave oven for, which is: melting cheese on tortillas, heating up soup, etc. The point is that I never use my stove more than once a day and the longest its ever on is when I make an omelet.
My electrical needs are minimal with no AC, and all LED lights, a small energy efficient DC fridge, laptop computer, recharging ipad, etc. Do those details help in answering my question if a Nuwave would work in a motorhome with 500 watts of solar and a couple house batteries?
A $30, 500W hot plate will do that with 50A DC and a 600W inverter. I made three pots of coffee with an inverter and a 600W dripper from a single 79AH Deka AGM just to prove it could be done. At 6min per pot that was 18min, or around 20AH for 25% of battery capacity.
Figure replacing that by charging 110% or 22AH back into the battery.
