With only two batteries you are at risk of having to make toast with the bread-burning rack that goes on the propane stove that sets off your ceiling fire alarm every time, making the dogs bark like crazy, waking up the entire campground.

Please check me before I commit to it...
My microwave is 1500watt, 13amp, according to its sticker.
If I get an 1800watt continuous inverter, it is listed at 15amps, will it work for my microwave?
I know MOTORS require more power to start, but know very little about microwave ovens.
I only want to buy ONE inverter. I'd rather throw $200 at an extra set of batteries later if we want to run the microwave as a habit than need to replace the inverter.
If the 1800watt will do it, I'll get it tomorrow.
Thanks!

My Samlex is a great 300 watt PSW and it's idle draw is next to nothing. It is a heavy transformer inverter.
The 3000 watt inverter mentioned well above is intriguing. The vendor is claiming Siemens transistors and a Japanese toroid. Not even the old Trace inverters had toroids.
Tear that inverter down! Strip the heat sink! Send it off to be hard black anodized! 137% more heat radiation. A 60-amp 1250 volt full wave bridge rectifier. Chuck the receptacles. Replace with Hubbell 20-amp Nylon units. Remount FETs with silver bearing thermal grease. Mount exterior 50-amp DPDT contactor. Two EB Pabst 120 vac 180 CFM fans mounted exterior. One in and one out flow. Keep that toroid cool. But I do not know the menu format. All the above is a bunch of hot air without knowing if the Vabs max can be time adjusted and Vabs limit set. Same for float. Does is have a feeler-tickler circuit to detect loads for auto turn on? What is the transition time in milliseconds for line to UPS flop-over?
Time to write vendor and decipher Chinglish answer.
