Microwave Removal

We used ours a lot, very rarely as a microwave, but when we had hook ups we baked in it. Wouldn't have missed it much if we didn't have it though.
That looks good. There is a place to get the netting that FR uses elsewhere in the Pod, if you wanted "closure" LOL

So that's where the microwave is supposed to go.  We've never had one there, so the space has always been used for storage.  To avoid the heat problem above the refrigerator, when I put in the new refrigerator, I put some insulation under the microwave space.  I also added some small slats to lift the storage bin above the floor of the space a little bit and allow some air circulation.  Heat build up problem solved.  

Like  geewizard we also do not have the following but special ordered our 177 from the factory to NOT include: microwave/convection oven, entertainment system, A/C.  That was back in January 2011.  So here we are nearly 9 years and 34,000 miles later and guess what - no regrets!  Still normally boondock as we camp in national forest campgrounds or national parks but occasionally will treat ourselves to a nice state park and have electricity now and then.  Yes, we still feel like glampers as compared to when we tent camped and had our pop-ups.  Our 177 and corresponding r-dome have served us well.
