Two suggestions. ONE.. Don't worry about exact replacement.
RV microwaves fall into 2x2 categories
1: "Built in" this is a standard microwave like you might get at Best buy, My Dometic built in is really an LG (Lousy Goods) and thus never worked till I did a bit of re-design (Never had an LG that worked).
In this case you'd have to build a new facia for it (mounting bracket) but any good tin-smith (Heating and cooling contractor) can do that easily.
2: Sits on a shelf.. Nuff said about those
the other two
Built into a vented compartment No special work need be done here
Bilt into a NON vented compartment (Vents via the front panel) You may need to see that tin smith to design a new exhaust air channel for it.
But in all cases the actual microwave is an standard Best-Buy type.
