Hi Mena,
That's a good point on appliance efficiency. I've often wondered why the heck Dometic made the microwave such a high draw appliance. It isn't even a microwave convection oven.
I also have not considered start up surge--so the air cutting in while running the microwave may not be a working situation. I think with the water heater I should be "ok", but time will tell.
Does anyone have real life wattages on their air or water heater?
All in all, I'm still pleased to have purchased a 3k unit rather than a 2 k.
