We have read that a 1000W inverter is adequate for running the refrig. during travel. Our big concern is if we travel 7-8 hours when we arrive we won't have sufficient power in our batteries to run ...
Short answer, NO. A 1000 watt INverter will not power a microwave or coffeemaker IF they use more than 1000 watts.
Check your microwave, most likely it is a 1100 watt model which actually draws 1200 or more, and my 12 cup coffeemaker uses about 1100 watts as well. A single cup model may only use about 700.
