Isata 3 Inverter

Getting ready to purchase a new Isata 3 24FW. I am wondering about the adequacy of the Inverter.
The Isata 3 comes with a 1,000 watt Inverter. Is the 1,000 watt rating of the inverter peak or sustained? Is the inverter output available at all of the 110 AC outlets in the camper?
Any experience with operating the 1,000 watt Microwave with this inverter?
Thanks

It won't run the microwave. I've only used it for the tv.

I had them test it with a hair dryer. residential...not travel size. It worked on low and medium. High it would trip, but then reset once it went back to low.

I also had them test it with a Keurig...which was my main concern as I do not use a hair dryer, nor am I sure why you would ever use a hair dryer when camping.

Its a Magnum 1000 watt pure sine wave.

Inverter capacity in Isata 3

Thanks for the information. Aren't the TV's in the Isata 3 12 volt?

Can you use the inverter from all of the 110v AC outlets? If not, which ones?

If the microwave doesn't work off the inverter, it must draw more than 1,000 watts or the AC outlet is not connected to the Inverter. What is the Make and model Number?

It worked with the Keurig we tested.

The inverted circuits have changed slightly, but we normally invert the TV outlets, Kitchen GFI and Bathroom GFI on the 3 series.

So
Could one watch the morning news
And use the keurig together?
I usually plug in above the kitchen sink.

Inverter capacity and access in Isata 3

Thanks for the information. I use a CPAP machine. There are 110v AC outlets on each side of the bed. That is one of the reasons I am seriously considering this model. Are they connected to the inverter?

Wow. Sorry to hear that. No 12 volt or 110v outlet in bedroom for CPAP. That is a deal breaker. I guess I better start looking for another unit.

There are 12V USB's at both sides of the bed.

The problem is you can't power a CPAC machine from a USB port. You would need to install a conventional 12 volt plug.

If you are planning on placing an order for a new coach, why don't you ask BClemens if a custom order can be placed for a larger, or additional, inverter with a dedicated 120VAC outlet in the bedroom.

Just saying there is 12V wiring there and could be easily modified to suit anyones specific needs.

Is the 120 volt TV outlet in the bedroom on the inverted circuit? If so, a short extension cord would work.
