Hi dougrainer,
My Dometic Microwave draws 1591 watts as measured by a kill-a-watt meter. I do not have any 20 amp breakers in the RV. I suspect that the wiring for the microwave is not 12/2. If I remember I'll take a look next time I am in the RV.
DOMETIC Microwave ovens pull 850 watts
DOMETIC Microwave/Convection pull 850 watts as a Microwave and a total of 1500 watts as a Convection, with the Vent fan and lights ON.
1300 watts without the Fan and lights. The specs for this oven require only a 15 amp DEDICATED Circuit/Breaker. Which requires a 14/2 romex. Not a 12/2 romex. Doug
