12v inverter draw on batteries with microwave
If I get a 2000w inverter for my MH and use my 1100w microwave, what will be the draw off the house batteries? Using Ohm's Law I calculate about 9 amps draw at 120v. Then converting from 120v to 12...

As the others stated 15 minutes microwave time best to use the generator
If not running at full power on the microwave things are a bit different. If an "inverter" type Microwave and you turn down the power setting you very easily could get 15 minutes cooking time. Standard Microwaves with power turned down simply switch them full on and full off which will still draw the max when on.
I too have a 2000watt sine wave inverter and only two GC FLA batteries (220amp/hr)I use my smaller 900 watt (standard type) microwave from the inverter for no more than 3 or 4 minutes for heating coffee etc.
