I bought a 2000w Nature Power pure sine inverter from camping world. I had my local rv dealer install the inverter (and a power tongue jack) that I bought a CW. It was $200 in parts and $500 in ...

When on inverter, it powers the entertainment center, and microwave circuit.
This means around 1600W total: 1500 microwave and 100 the center. We are going in circles here. Inverter is not too small for this task. Possible reasons and solutions, once again:
You can install a thicker cable from battery to inverter.
You have to add another pair of 6V batteries - this is NOT an option, you have to, if you don't want to kill the battery.
Check your AC line, there can be too much resistance there.
You can run a 3000W generator for 1500W microwave, though this would be an overkill and a bit of nuisance, having to run it every time.
I wonder what you need microwave for. There is nothing that can't be done on a gas stove if you have to. This could be another solution.
