You need a lot more diagnostics before you can determine where then problem is. It could be the inverter, batteries, converter, microwave, a relay, fuse, breaker, lose wire and probably a half a dozen other things.

Secondly, it is highly unlikely that the stock systems in a 20 yr old RV will ever run the microwave without serious after market improvements. Most importantly, lacking a full and complete description of your whole system and I/O’s, no one on here could reliably diagnose your problem(s).
