Need to find alternative for OTR microwave
Through our own error, we fried several appliances on our last trip with our fiver. Have been able to repair every single thing EXCEPT the microwave. This was an OVER-THE-RANGE Magic Chef Model MC02...

Thank you, friends, for all your comments. We are DEVOURING every suggestion. Please keep them coming. Yes...the microwave is SMALL for an OTR and in our search we have come to realize that the newer campers that DO have OTR microwaves are using the larger standard size of 29-30". Since the RV ranges are NOT that wide, the cabinetry is built with a wider space and the microwave is actually wider than the stove. We still have a couple of salvage places on the west coast we are trying to contact (a dream-come-true would be to find an OTR microwave that would fit) but in the event that we do not find one, we WILL have to do the hood and the build-in. MUST have a fan as the stove is somewhat in a corner and the fan in the hood DOES help circulate heat that builds up when we are using the stove top. Currently we have no external vent. The microwave was NON-VENTED. (Circulated the air back into the room) Now I am having trouble finding a VENT HOOD that is non-vented AND 12v.
Oh...and yes, we checked the fuse. We actually accidentally plugged into 220 and the microwave REALLY fried. Afraid we burnt up more than just the circuit board in it!
Again I say,
If it's not one thing, it's another.
