[C320-list] How to add a Microwave?

[Dave Anderer]

Pretty much everyone I know with the Honda generator loves it.  That 
said, I think it is overkill for simply running the microwave 
occasionally.  A 1kw inverter, at 1/4 the price, will do it.

Now I'm only on the hook for 2 days or so at a time, and the batteries 
should carry that load fine.  I don't need to run hair dryers and TVs 
and computers and..  Clearly your usage patterns may differ, and you may 
come to a different conclusion.

Personally, the last thing I want is yet-another-gas/diesel-engine to 
take care, something else to store on-board, and different fuel to carry 
on-board.  But that's me.

Given a choice I would buy the gen set instead of the inverter....you can always run a microwave with the gen set running along with other eqpt...I think the gen set gives you a lot more flexibility...
