Correct, those would only work plugged in or running the generator.

Please start a new thread, instead of adding to another persons thread for new issues like this. It will help keep both the original posters and your issues on track

Aside from the ac and your microwave, you may fine the television(s) won’t work if it’s a 120volt design, and you may find your electrical outlets don’t work.

Electricity comes in two forms…..AC and DC. DC comes from your batteries, and in an RV basically powers your factory lights and ceiling fans.

Welcome aboard. This thread link below has a lot of useful information to those just starting out. It will explain converters/inverters and what usually works off AC or DC in a RV
