[C320-list] How to add a Microwave?

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

I never use the microwave, dryers, tv's, etc while I'm away from the dock....I just like having the Honda, don't have to worry at all about lights, radios or anything else....I carry a 1.5 gal unleaded gas can for the gen set (4-stroke) and find absolutely no inconvenience in storing it and using it..

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...
