I've been browsing the photo site for microwave oven installs. A lot of you folks seem to have built in countertop models. I am looking at doing the same since built in micro/convection ovens require the outlay of two GMC units ($600). I have narrowed it down to two: the Sharp R820 which is what I think Dan and Teri have, and the "Half Time" oven sold at Walmart.com. The latter looks more like a speed oven. We have a GE Monogram Speed Oven in the house, and Christina loves it. I'm loathe to put a $1,600 oven requiring a 30A ckt in my coach, however!
Those of you who built in convection models, any issues with heat? I saw the one with the muffin fans, good idea.I am going to install it above the cooktop and build a new hood using parts from the OEM one.
Also, any of you ever run the microwave off of an inverter? I may power the entire kitchen with a good inverter and possibly an auto transfer relay so we have full use of it when on 12V power. I have a cooktop that has a 110VAC coil for ignition too. My backup to that is an automotive coil and a pulse circuit or just a simple push to ignite button setup from a grill. This setup would exclude the refrigerator, which will have it's own elec ckt similar to Rob's upgrades.
