What if it Snows?

Have not had any problems from the inverter. No beeping or shutdowns, nothing. I do have them wired with big 0 gauge wires and a fuse block at batteries. Runs the refrigerator at all times when out, microwave as needed. Both at the same time, no problem. Don’t need to run the truck when using anything.

How old are your batteries?
Depending on how old they are and the ratings, they may not be able to handle the loads placed on them.

 

What brand do you have and size? How big is the microwave?

 

Refrigerator and Microwave are household models.
The microwave is a whirlpool, 750 watts running.

This is the inverter
3000 WATT PURE SINE POWER INVERTER 12 VDC to 120 VAC

 

The refrigerator is an insignia brand.

 

Batteries are pretty new. 3-900 cca. I’m making a pot now. Using the 1000w. No smoke this time. Inputs 14amps. Output 8 amps. Trucks running.

 

Ditto my bride has 4 or 5 cloth shopping bags hanging on s hooks all around bottom bunk (her bed). When she is not with me I have 1 gym bag. We both have our clothes hanging in a cabinet. I'd leave her at home but I kind of like her and #### she cooks yum

 

I have 2 deep cycle RV batteries added it make a big difference. 6 batteries total

 

Get an extra battery?????? I run the truck too 95% of the time with microwave or coffee. Its like 600 watts being poured over the top of the batteries.

 

Woke up today, low drive tire. Found a nail. Went ahead got 2 new Firestone 591s for the steers. Moved old ones to drives. Total $1255.00 Not bad. Nothing beats new steers.

 

That was my idea, run cables to the passengers box. I think the newer trucks have isolation systems, and use a dual purpose deep/ starting batteries Maybe an isolated starter battery. Not sure. So many new battery technologies . Need to do some research. Somewhere between cost, weight and benefits. There’s a good combination.
