I am in the process of hooking up my inverter. Heart freedom 3000, using 6 deep cycle marine batteries. I am planning on low amp summit ref. ge convection microwave, coffee maker(A MUST) and a couple tv's. What is everyone running on an inverter?

All of my florescent tubes are on a single small but high quality 400 watt inverter. I switch the source from shore to the inverter. 14 years and not so much as a hiccup but I put an aux whisper fan on her at the outset.
I use a junk 200 watt top run the single relay associated with my freeze protection lash-up. 14 years and all is well....and warm.
Have a 1000 watt pro grade inverter. It does everything fine except for the coffee machine (when going for a second batch), but that's probably due to the smallish and slightly-getting-old 400amp hour Costco deep cycle batteries and running it at 100%. I think it pulls 120 amps or more.
Right now, I run everything except the rear rooftop A/C, water heater, and two outlets off my 3,000 watt inverter.
2 TV's, microwave convection oven , heat pump, & standard fridge. lights are run off batteries and baatteries charged by solar panels. diesel heaters run off batteries too. Also computers and two satellite systems run off inverter. Jerry
Everything...except heat and AC.

i've got 6 golf cart batteries with a freedom 2012d (2000w). 2TVs, all lights, satellite systems (internet and TV), 2 notebooks, printer, coffee maker, freezer, optional frig or can put it on propane. hot water and A/C and heat are generator only. we'll run the genset about 3 hours in evening if we are dry camping.
Heart-Interface 2500 watt/12 volt amd 8 6 volt golf cart batteries. We run everything, including house type refrigerator, except ACs, water heater, microwave/convection oven, and block heater. When dry camping, we run generator 2 hours in AM and 2 hours in PM. During this time we use microwave and water heater while batteries are being charged. Batteries never go below 12 volts. Jack
