Small update:
-I have many of the bugs worked out of my custom fitted genset compartment with the AP2K inverter generator.
*I decided to stay simple and utilize a couple of outlets for the PD battery charger and Rv shore power plug...1 for Genset power, 1 for GP3K pure sine wave Inverter.(and then an outlet for the shore power line to power the PD charger when plugged in at home)
NOTES:
-The AP2K digital inverter generator will not power the microwave. (This leads me to believe it is of the MSW type of power) The microwave is a compact unit, lower cooking power unit with digital display. The display scrambles and none of the controls work with generator power. The unit receives power, the light inside lights up, but no go.
-I stopped there with testing 120v items, I do not want to Fry/break anything(I have a large LCD flat screen and X-Box game unit)...after-all, the primary reason for this genset was to power the Progressive Dynamics 60amp 12v Converter/charger...and let the Pure Sine Wave Inverter create my power for 120v when shore power isn't avail.
*My meter shows 60hz, and 121.3 volts when well loaded. I have loaded the genset with a ceramic heater and other accessories(turning on 1 at a time) totalling 1840 watts and the genset handles it fine.
-My GP3K Pure Sine Wave Inverter needed repairs and still is not back in my hands yet...I am hoping that the inverter will power everything(especially the microwave), as it should make equal or better power than what the power company makes available in our homes.
