I have four Trojan T125 batteries and a 2000W inverter and often use our 1200W microwave to warm food for lunch or a cup of hot water, usually for no linger than four minutes at a time with no problems.

We have 4 GC-2, 450AH, 2000W PSW inverter, 490W solar, 1200W Micro. Average run time, no more than 3-4 minutes. Also, run a coffee machine if there is a lot of solar(but not at the same time as the micro.). Use a French press coffee maker if there is little solar. Toaster, hair dryer, magic bullet, curling iron etc. Mostly dry camp, no generator time.
This is not with the heater fan running. We watch our battery AH consumption carefully. Have had this fairly similar set up for the last 8 years in 2 different RV's. Never a problem.
