I’m not buying that solar/generator cost comparison, because those results are skewed by a series of bad decisions on your part and a theft. And you spent TWO THOUSAND dollars on a metal cage?
I spent $1800 on two Honda EU2000s over 15 years ago and they never cost anything but a small amount of fuel and a spark plug every few years.
On top of that I sold that pair for $1400 a while ago, and ordered a brand new pair for $1800 again.
The old ones still worked fine, I only did it to freshen up because I could.
I found that a pair of 100ah batteries and a 2000-watt Xantrex pure sine wave inverter works well for a microwave and coffeemaker.
Did you mean you want to run the micro for ten minutes continuously, or a minute, ten times?
Drive time to recharge off a truck depends on a few things. How much alternator capacity you have, and how big the cables running to your batteries are.
