How many batteries? Hopefully four+ and over 400 amp hours.
Does the inverter give an error message? Most are suspecting low voltage but these Xantrex are not bullet proof.
Or put your small voltmeter on the inverter terminals and read input voltage as someone else turns on the microwave. You are looking for 11.0+ and closer to 12.0 is better with a large load.
OOOO (4/0) is larger than O (1/0) wire. Google cross sectional mills or price to confirm.
1/0 might be OK depending on length. 8' is too long.
