^^^^^^ Yep like I tell people that's what propane is for.....^^^^^^^^
People think if they can do it at home off of a plug in they can do it with solar...... Hell they are both power why not?? Because you can't.... LOL
I could with my system if I wanted to, but I know better..........

I’ve actually had great luck running a MW off my inverter. I camp about 6 times a year (3-7days each). I have 150ah worth of AGM batteries and 1 120watt solar panel on my cabover camper. Microwave gets used almost every trip off the inverter. Warming up food quickly or whatever. Sure I could use the stove, but why when I can pop it in the microwave for 45 seconds and be done? I’ve gotten crazy a few times and run it for a few minutes straight for a tub of mashed potatoes etc and it does that just fine as well, but not a common occurrence.
Now this part is completely dumb, but I’ve even run my AC off the inverter. Fully charged to fully dead is about 1hr. Again, dumb but I’ve done it. Truck broke down on the side of the road and I didn’t have my Gen with me. Fell asleep waiting for help to arrive, woke up to the low voltage alarm beeping.

That's very good to know even with a small system.... |
