Jerry,

This is the microwave that is in Double Trouble:

As far as I can tell this is not an inverter microwave.

Hi Rob,

The issue is not the inverter or the batteries, it is the microwave. The microwaves that use an internal inverter like most of the
Panasonic counter top units do not play well with your coach inverter power as they will draw a lot (more than name plate) of power
on start up and then gradually drop to name plate power draw after being on for a while. So, it will not make any difference
whether you have two or four six volt batteries.

I have four six volt batteries in the Royale and a very high quality, high output inverter. No matter what I did I could not get
that setup to power a Panasonic "inverter" microwave. It even stumped the inverter supplier until he could get,through to Panasonic
engineering who confirmed that their units would not normally work running off of inverted 120vac power supplied from a 12vdc
source.

That same set up works just fine powering the Sharpe microwave in the Clasco or the Samsung microwave I purchased to replace that
Panasonic unit in the Royale. The inverter in the Clasco is smaller and not of the same quality as the one in the Royale and even
running off of a single 4d 12vdc AGM battery it powers the Sharpe microwave just fine.

My experience, anyway.
