Brad,

Sounds like you've got this testing thing pretty much under control. Now you
need to figure out how to start that darn genset from the comfort of the bed
covers. The one draw back I did find using the genset to power the microwave
is, you can't get the whole process going without going outside to start the
genset. Myself, I don't go outside for any reason UNTIL I have had at least
my second cup of coffee. :-) One thing I have found that is a great
advantage for the built in countertop stove is that it can be started
without setting foot out of the bunk. Another huge advantage (assuming it is
chilly out) to this is that your cabin will be almost tolerably warm by the
time your coffee water is hot. In my mind, this is a pretty huge stumbling
point for the microwave. I am mostly still considering a microwave for the
sole reason that the Admiral "thinks" it will make her happy. We are all
well aware that when Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.......right???
Although I do have to admit that my weakness for popcorn is loading the
scales in favor of the microwave to a pretty large degree.

When they say "not for built-in installation" they are referring to putting
it in a cabinet that fits quite closely around the outside of the microwaves
cabinet, maybe only having an inch or so of clearance all around. I have a
microwave that is installed in the galley of my travel trailer this way. It
overheats and kicks out it's reset if used too much or for very long at one
time. If you have your nuker under the galley counter and always operate it
with the galley cabinet door open, this would not really fit the criteria of
a built in installation, unless of course you enclosed it in some kind of
shelf or something.

Switch back and forth between you nuker and your battery charger with a
built in switch???? Brad take a deep breath now.......I fear you may be
having an attack of electro-complicating-psychosis here. Is there a Rhodes
Doctor in the house????????? :-) :-) :-)
