Hogone, on the off chance your micro quit because of a voltage problem where you are/we're camping, you might want to try it again somewhere else before replacing it.

Installing a generic microwave in an RV probably require some attention to air flow around the microwave, thus either an open space around it or some kind of decorative grill surround would be in order.  

We don't like those huge over stove microwaves, especially since we don't use it much, and don't like one sitting on the kitchen counter, so I built a cabinet for our kitchen to have a "built in" microwave out of the way.  I had to be sure to have adequate space in the cabinet design to allow for air flow.  Since I am not a microwave design engineer, I haven't a clue if there is enough, but so far we haven't burned down the house heating the occasional cup of coffee.

Ya, Ill look for one that vents thru the front like the one I have at home.  Granted it is one thats above the stove which I really like since its completely out of the way.  Will have to yank old one out and get some measurements.  Not to worried about it, good winter project!!  Am considering getting a new rig(no rush by any means), a little bigger (not much).  I may start a new thread to start getting ideas,
recommendations, thoughts, etc.  jon

At costco the other day -- they had an interesting counter top bake oven that I thought might replace the one in our 179.  I seem to have trouble remembering the directions after i close the door on the factory combo oven that gets very little use.

Yes. Remove the screws in the surround and slide it out if I recall correctly.
