How to easily turn off the microwave...
One thing I have done to all my RVs is to install a switched outlet for the microwave, so I can kill power to it when I'm using inverter power. The reason behind this is power conservation. I will turn on the switch when I want to use the microwave.
The microwave always uses power for the clock / digital display.
Another reason for the switch is to kill microwave power at night, when I'm on shorepower. The clock is very bright, and lights up the interior of the RV
When I am out camping, and not exploring the area, etc., I might end up on my laptop for extended time periods, using my inverter for AC power for the laptop and big LCD monitor I use for editing videos. I also power up a USB hub so I can plug in more than two USB devices such as a portable hard drive, tether my cell phone from internet, etc.
Conserving every bit of power helps, which is why I disable the microwave with the switch.
