RE:  Microwave
For my Silver Streak, I also bought a standard small 600-700 Watt
microwave.  I keep it secured with bungie cords during travel and plug
it into the electrical outlet just forward of the range on the street
side of the trailer.  We have used it a number of times and have never
tripped the breaker, even when we are using the toaster at the same
time, plugged into the second outlet at that location..

We are using a standard off the shelf microwave which we purchased at
Best
buy.  Much less expensive than the "RV microwaves".  The problem is
securing
then for travel.  I put the anti-skid material under mine and anchored
it
with 3/4" wide strap attached to the cabinet floor.

You need to watch which circuit you connect the microwave.  You do not
want
it on the same circuit as the A/C if you have one.

Advice on putting Microwave under the stove in 72 Continental Supreme.

What size do you recommend, what wattage, ac dc. both?

How to run the wiring to the back of the microwave?

By a special RV Microwave or just a small apartment size one?

Thanks
