Why won't 2000w inverter run 900w microwave?
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 ...

At least Op will have some stuff to ask about.
And I agree if the intention was to run the microwave it should not have left the shop without at least a two minute test.
To be productive in asking, one needs to A) know what to ask, B) understand the answers.
Lets say the shop people will go over his rig, replace some wires, turn the MW on, it works, and turn it off after few minutes. I bet my sweet ars that the OP will be there - or in another shop - soon again, with new problems. Like MW is "not working as it should", or "something wrong with batteries".
Somebody here wondered how 2000W pure sine can cost $200. This exact model sells at $500 at the Camping World, internet sale right now $450. That $200 inverter can't be PSW, and if it's not, then it can damage both microwave and other electronics.
If they get lucky and MW won't die of dirty current, they will be back in store again, this time for new 6V batteries. And then again and again, because new pair of 6V will not like 140A current any more than the old one did. Oh well...
