Would like to hear from people on there recent experience on adding an inverter. My goal. To power a 1350 watt microwave for 10 minutes at max power. I have two group 27 batteries and a 120 watt ...

Late last year I added new batteries, an inverter, and solar to my TC. Basically I wanted to make coffee with our Keurig each morning and enable my wife to dry her hair after her daily shower. I have two Lifeline 125 AH batteries, a 2000 watt Xantrex inverter, and 4 Renogy 100w solar panels. It works great for what I wanted. We can make coffee and dry hair from the inverter, and the solar charges things back up during the day. Making a couple cups of coffee and drying hair only takes the batteries from 100% down to 93 or 94%. We can also run the microwave off the inverter outlet, but don't use it too much.
I also took out the 3 way fridge and installed a 12v compressor fridge. I could never keep the 3 way fridge running on propane while going down the road, and usually had a 55 degree fridge by the end of the day. We rarely camp in a spot more than one day, prefer to be moving on, and the compressor fridge meets our needs much better than the 3 way did.
