I want to run a microwave on an inverter
I have an AF 865 camper. I want to be able to run the microwave, 900W, power demand shown to be 1350W, on an inverter for a short period of time, just warming stuff up. This would allow us to not carr...

You could run it for the 10 minutes on the two 27s IF they were fully charged to start with, but then you also have to get through the 24 hr day running the furnace etc until the next gen hours lets you recharge the batts.
With four 6s or four 27s and being able to recharge the batts at least every day (but only need solar each day in summer in the open for that--needs gen in winter under trees) can run the MW for 10 minutes to do spuds, then right after, 5 minutes to do frozen veggies. Meanwhile steaks get done RVQ outside.
The 15 min of MW time at 120a is not what matters with the four 6s. You still have to run the furnace and watch movies on those same batts.
It is all about scenario. When do you do this and how often? When are gen hours if any? Got any solar? Is there any sunshine in the forecast?
Good idea to run the gen to run the battery charger/converter while also using the inverter to run the MW. Different 120v source plug- ins of course--don't want any 240v!!!!
Same thing on 15 amp shore power if that is what you have at somebody's house you are visiting or at a fairground for dog trials. The converter input "supports" the inverter draw from the batts so it is not so hard on just two 27s for that 10 minutes. Means the 10 min is during gen hours in that scenario.
