Leaving the microwave plugged in made literally no difference. The Jackery was still at 84% when I got home, the exact same as the fridge only.
I cooked a microwave-centric meal (a common use case on the road in the camper), and there were no issues. The microwave is a little less efficient than average. The Jackery read 1200-1250W while the microwave was running. From what I had read online, microwaves typically draw 50% more than their rated output (so for this 700W microwave, it would come out to 1050W).
Still though, I made a decent meal, and it only drew 9% out of the Jackery. I am assuming at this point that the gauge in it is accurate. The microwave ran for a total of 9 minutes (two minutes to re-heat the pork, 7 to cook the veggies).
The microwave got its first mess too. I didn't realize that the riced veggies bag had a hole in it and all the sauce leaked out. Oops.
The big project for last night was to get the dresser out. I didn't pay enough attention when I got one of those rolls of wrap that clings to itself, since I had planned on taking a dowel to hold all the drawers shut in addition to a protective ring around the top (and I had planned one on the bottom too since they scuff the easiest), but the roll was waaaay too small. But the dresser is out of the house.
I also lit the burn barrel, which I had kind of forgotten about. It will need to be moved. It was just a quick burn down of whatever had accumulated in it.
I still had plenty of time after that, so I started packing up the entertainment center. I cleaned everything (at least hit it with a swiffer, and the really bad things I wiped down) as I was packing it up.
I didn't realize when I poached this tote from KY that the latches on it were missing. Oh well. Nothing a little duct tape can't fix.
The only things left on the TV stand are the TV, my NAS, UPS, and the Switch (which I haven't packed up yet). I also moved my laptop off the shelf so that I get ready to move the closet out. That will be this weekends task.
Just for completeness' sake (and to help identify how accurate the gauge is), I left the fridge and microwave plugged in through this morning, so it is a full 24 hours that everything has been on it. This morning it read 56%, which doesn't feel out of line (though I haven't done the math on it). I turned the power off today too, so it will be running on it all day as well before it gets recharged.
On a side note, my passport finally came back. I applied for a renewal back in March. I missed a work trip to Poland as a result of it taking so long.
