Yes the Honda 2000w will run the AC. It runs the microwave as well....albeit under much more load.

Not sure if you'd be able to run both at the same time.

on my 184bh....the lug nuts are the same size at the hex shaped piece on my stabilizer jacks. So the tool they supplied to extend my jacks could theoretically be used to loosen/tighten lug nuts.

We love it. Perfect for our young family (two small kids). Its easy to tow and maneuver, the systems aren't complicated - so its easy to setup at the campsite.

Highly recommended.

PS - also keep in mind that only items on the 12v system will work (lights, water pump, fridge etc).

Your big ticket items like microwave and air conditioning won't work off the battery.
