How do you run the microwave and outlets without shore power? What is an inverter?
normally, you'd need an inverter generator.
but if you have a big battery bank and a big inverter, you might be able to run the microwave for a few minutes.
to run the outlets, the inverter would have to be wired into the RV's 110v AC electrical side. this would not be an easy task.
an inverter inverts 12v DC battery power to 110v AC power.
most just use an inverter plugged into the 12v cigarette lighter socket and plug a tv or electronic devices into the inverter.
