The 3000WATT Power Inverter will easily pull around 250AMPS PLUS from your battery bank. That is alot of juice... You gonna need alot of batteries to run a 3000WATT POWER Inverter drawing a full load...
Your best bet is to run those HIGH WATTAGE items from a generator and then use the lower wattage guys off of a Power Inverter... Our 255AH Battery Bank setup does great for when we just pull around 22AMPS from 6PM to 10PM and the regular parasitic drains in a one day/night run off the batteries. This drops me down to the 50% charge state on my battery by 8AM the next morning which I have to run my 2KW Generator then to quickly recharge my battery bank back up to its 90% charge state so I can do all of this all over again for the next day/night off the batteries... Using a smart mode charger connected to my 2KW generator I can recharge to the 90% charge state in around three hours generator run time when camping off the power grid.
This of course does not include running the air conditioner or the high wattage microwave. Everything else is full game with caution...
You don't have to get a smaller Power Inverter - Just don't load it down more than 20 AMPS or so with you lower wattage appliances...
