From what I have heard - some people can run the A/C and some can't.[edit - upon re-reading, I see you are looking at the companion setup which should handle almost everything] You can probably run the Microwave and one other moderate thing (like the battery converter under load) at the same time.I believe it puts out around 16 amp, and the Micro pulls about 10 I think. So everything else has to be under 5 or 6. Normal things like Tv, dvd player etc would all run at once.
On another subject, I researched things and bought a Boily 3600 generator. It actually puts out 3000 real watts continuously and peak of 3300. It weighs 73 lb with a manual start and 78 with elec. start. So it is 15 lb heavier than the Honda, I guess. But the Honda equivalent weighs 140 lb!!!!! Also, the Boily had some problems when it started 5-6 years ago, but they have listened to the users and fixed the re-ocurring things. Oh, and it costs around $999. My reasoning for this purchase is I CAN run the AC with no problems if I need to. And I can lift it in and out of the truck. Downside, the Honda and Yamaha are both VERY highly rated and a bit quieter. If you aren't running the AC, the Boily has an economy mode that is very quiet tho.
Good luck
