The wire to the Xantrex at 1/0 ought to be big enough. The 110v side isn't likely to be a problem. However, start surge of the appliances may well be greater than the inverter can supply... and battery life isn't going to be great in any case. I tried a simple Haier 900 Watt microwave - no grill or 'convection' in the ads - and it will run, but the battery drain is large. Get a starter ammeter (A meter which has a shoe on the back which fits over the battery cable) and see what current your setup is drawing. If it flicks to one side and falls back, the inverter is seeing too great a load and stalling as a result. Assuming the inverter works.
