    Unwelcome Greeting

    During the RTR I was looking for a friends camp at night, which can be hard to find with all the people out there. Their camp was several washes north away from most of the people. I rolled up (on my well lit bike) on the first campfire on that wash that I thought was theirs.  As I approached I...

    Any Microwaves that can run off of a 900 watt inverter?

    Are the any microwaves that will run off of a pro sine 1000 inverter (900 watt max).  It would be a lot easier for me to swap out a microwave than the inverter, and much cheaper.
