I'm the kind of guy who tries to set up his stuff to be as flexible as possible. I try to figure what equipment I would need for EVERY possible situation. To be totally honest, all of this is theoretical at the moment because I want to TOTALLY plan out every jot and tiddle before spending a cent. I like the IDEA of being ABLE to run a microwave or some such high power device, though I'm not totally deadset on it. I like the idea of eating a (formerly) frozen pizza while boondocking. Of course the more situations I think of require more expensive stuff which just keeps building up the pricetag. Thus I'm also trying to decide what to buy immediately, and what to get later when I can afford it.

While I like the brilliance of putting the inverter next to the starter battery in order to turn 12 volts into 120 volts sooner, what's the difference between that and putting the inverter right next to the house battery? ARe you talking about having 2 inverters? and somehow synchronizing the AC so that the current from each adds up to power a high wattage device?
ANyways, thank you for the discussion.
