Cooking wattage
Check the back label for the "input 120v watts required". For 1800w cooking you are into the 2xxx watts and will need a 20a (120v) circuit and the plug-in for that. (the MW should have a 20a plug already)
A 30a RV could handle that if nothing much else is on at the same time.
if installed and you can't see the receptacle, check the breaker panel to see if the MW has its own 20a breaker. Should be ok if so. then it is all about power management on your part to , eg, don't have the WH on electric while running the MW or whatever your choices are. (Fridge is another) The converter could be a big one too if the batteries are low just then. MW is not on very long so no big deal leaving the other things off for that short of a time.
Just need to train DW and not get too many dirty looks! :)
