I started with a large inverter to power the microwave. It powers just the one circuit plus an added GFI in the kitchen area. That was before solar and it idles at about 2 amps.
I used a small inverter out of the 12v connector but it was inconvenient with all the plug in stuff. I debated connecting the big inverter to the outlets but decided on a small 300w inverter for the rest. Idles at 260 milliamps.
I wired mine to separate circuits with separate transfer switches. Large inverter has a built in switch.
Idle draw not such a big deal now with solar but I still like the pair. Works for me.
