A new inverter charges the batteries based on temps greatly increasing their life and with a battery management system actually learns your batteries and adjusts the charger to match their actual condition.
Microwave puts out more power on pure sine wave.
A newer unit can be system matched and expanded to include gen auto start that can be tied to the air conditioning in your case if you have Dometic airs.
Does your ac control panel control your furnace? I think it does. If it does the system integration can add the heater into the auto gen start aystem based on either hot or cold or battery state of charge.
Engineering marches on. 22 years later.
The old inverters tend to corrode the internal contactors "points" that lessens the amount of power that flows through them.
A robust system can run a integral solar controller with the latest units capable of using 240 volt top residential grade solar panels directly. Early controllers were not rated for the 240 volt input.
Small wires I understand are the benefit from this along with the less roof area needed to input X amount of power.
