I bought a small 0.7 cu ft microwave online from Target on Ebay for $49. Very small and compact to be used in a Palomino Bronco Pop-up truck camper

I have a Xantrex Prowatt 1000 true Sine Wave inverter. 900 watts continuous / 2000 watts surge

I hooked up the microwave to my "Killowatt" meter to see what kind of wattage it draws....from 48 watts to 1150 watts. It has 10 power settings, but this does not reduce the current requirements. It simply cycles the microwave device on and off. When on it is drawing over 1100 watts. On 100% power the microwave stays on for the entire cooking duration.Looks like I'm going to need to run the generator to heat up a bowl of soup!

My guess the one you bought is a 1000 watt one! :W
It should say right on the box and on the micro how many watts it is.

Take that one back and pick up a 700 watt micro.

I bought a 700 watt and used it for years it will nuke whatever you want. Just might take a minute more for anything big which you rarely do anyway big food wise in an RV.
