    Need an inverter.

    Small microwave,coffee pot, skillet and fridge is what it would power.

    What's wrong with the power drive?
    Previous bad experiences?

    A 2000 watt CONTINUOUS is my minimum recommendation. Your average coffee maker pulls mol 800 watts. Microwave the same. Takes 5 minutes in the mw to fry that bacon.

    I bought a Xantrex 1500 watt inverter from Amazon for about $170 shipped. They make quality products from small scale up to industrial duty.
    Its 1500 watts continuous and 3000 watts max.... my microwave is 700 watts, my electric skillet is a 1000 and my pressure/multi cooker is 1200. Never a problem with using any device, BUT I never use more than one device at a time.
