Hi Wayne and Sally
Yeah! Long time since I last caught up with you guys. All is
well had lots of new adventures in the last 2 years.
What I have discovered with the set up is:
1) Yes it is possible.
2) You need good batteries (315 ah in my setup and will be going to LiPo)
3) A good inverter (1500 watt pure sine wave)
4) Good cabling that decreases voltage drop (I've gone with 0BS due to the run length)
5) Good recovery system (240 watt amorphic panels with 120 watt portable backup)
6) Appropriate sized microwave (1100 watt input - 800 watt output)
7) Limit use to roadside reheats.
8) As a precaution, boost batteries with 240v charging (before trip and when possible whilst away)
As I mentioned in the Opening post, we only want it for the occasional meal reheat when we are on a long push between stops. Most of the time we have stopped at 4pm and are setting up for the night, but sometimes distance and the weather can be against you.
Cheers
Anthony
