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...

Dave, You just don't have enough battery to run a full size microwave. The smaller 600 watt units will probably work. We do the same thing but we take the food out and put it in the refrigerator at least 24hrs ahead of time. Here is an article that might help. Note that you can leave it thawed in the refrigerator for at least 2 days and even refreeze it if you change your mind.

Stick it in the ’fridge!
This is the best method and requires that you plan your meals ahead, which is also a good practice. Small amounts of frozen meat—a pound of ground meat or boneless chicken breasts—require a full day in the refigerator to thaw. Larger frozen meat items—roasts, hams, turkeys—require at least 24 hours for every 5 pounds of meat. When thawing foods in the refrigerator, the temperature of the regrigerator matters. Variations in refrigerator temperature can add to thawing time.
Items such as ground meat, stew meat, poultry, seafood, remain safe up to 2 days after thawing in the refrigerator. Red meat cuts—beef, pork or lamb roasts, chops, steaks—remain safe up to 3 days. Meats thawed in the refrigerator can be refrozen without cooking.
