As mentioned earlier,my 1000 watt PSW inverter(Wagan) runs my Commercial Chef microwave just fine, as does my 1500 MSW Wagan..And the toaster oven/coffee maker/Instant etc..Less than an amp idle draw..(.9) I think..
A 1500 watt inverter should,depending on the brand,run most anything you use for camping with power in mind..I just bought a 2200 watt Giandel for RV and home use,the only reason I went that route is for home appliances in a power outage..Idle draw is up in the air because of conflicting internet opinions,but Giandel is usually very low..This is my third one..
Lance trailers installs a 1500 watt GoPower in there new units..Perfect size and brand but expensive compared..
ya I have a go power in my 5th wheel, but I had that installed while they were still canadian owned and based in victoria BC. yes way more expansive but I got there package with the 5th wheel as I didn't realize how easy solar was to source and install back then. there have been rumors that when they sold the company to a US owner, the new owners starting using lower quality electronics. I never did find out which company was making there inverters 7 years ago but I will admidt I didn't look very hard. Giandel looks nice, do they have a hard wire option? I know my 3000watt go power has both. I guess if I realy have to I could just do a plug straint to the breaker box, then with the remote I could still hide it away and use the camper plugs.
