I had an 800w one but it was too small and wasn't designed to be mounted. Found a xantrex 1200 plus on ebay for just about half price. Figured it wouldn't take more than two hours to install. Wrong. Took about six. Still need to add a couple cable clamps and clean up the wiring. Now I'm off to look at micro microwaves.

Nice thing about having the inverter right by the battery. I didnt have to make any custom cables. Just bought automotive battery cables and put some heavy shrink tubing on the ends.
 
didnt know he liked bear!

most people who try it wont do so a second time.

That's not the first time I've made that typo.:eek:
 
Nice to have such an inverter...

As for microwaves...

I have the WAVE, the portable DC/AC microwave. about 175 bucks, small, but portable and I can take it out if I don't need it. Eats a lot of juice.
Probably would run the engine while I used it just to be safe.

Still to run bigger wires to the camper. probably 6 g or so to run the current needed.

Just more things to do. Good luck on the microwave. Nice. very nice to have indeed.
