No, the microwave does not need to be an "RV" microwave. The so called RV units are just standard residential units that typically come equipped with external vents and baffles to route the exhaust out of the cabinet. When the 16 year old OEM Sharp microwave in our motorhome failed I replaced it with a near exact fit Hamilton Beach unit that was on sale for $88 at Walmart. The only mods I made were a couple of minor bends in the original vent mounting and small shims under the feet to get the height right in the cabinet opening. Take your tape measure with you and see what'd on the shelf at your favorite appliance store.
