microwave after market

mine is and I bought it at wal mart. works just fine.

Unless you run the micro for 20 minutes at a time, I wouldn't worry about circulation. I would buy a cheapo and go camping!

Residential M/W are typically installed inside a non vented cabinet in a house. (not to be confused with a microwave that also acts as a range vent either venting back into the room or overhead through a duct and out of the roof typically) Did you old unit also have a power vent for the range?

RV units are 110v and plug in just like at home. Often they are mounted differently. You should be able to use any M/W that fits the space and offers a similar range vent (if any) as long as you can plug it in and secure it properly.

I'm not sure there IS an "after market" MW. They are all one in the same

Have installed 2 microwaves in 2 different 5th wheels and both were bought in big box stores that would fit the opening I had and never had any problems.

Sounds like you already had two m/w problems. ;) ;)

We placed one in a cabinet no issues, current one is really in a cabinet also, as long as the fit isn't glove tight I don't see an issue.

double post

Amazon sells several rv sized microwaves with the flange you can use to secure it into the cabinet. My microwave fried itself over the winter somehow so I just switched it out - I don't think it was over $100.

Thank you all for all the feedback.
