Anyone wanting to run a microwave oven or espresso machine that needs 1000 Watts needs to have a good battery and some hefty wire connecting the battery to the inverter. A 1000 watt load will want over 100 amps from the battery. Use the Battery Demand Calculator at http://www.altavistaaudio.com/Westy/Vanagon/battcalc.html and see for yourself. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
