I have a problem opening the rear door of my tow vehicle due to the handle height of the hitch. I asked a caravan service place what can be done and was told about hitch-Ezy.

I have a 700w portable generator and am wondering if it is possible to operate a 600w microwave oven with this unit. Bought the generator purely to charge batteries and to run small accessories, but have since become aware that there are low powered microwave ovens available? Allan W.
