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...

About 5 years ago I replaced our OTR microwave when it died.
I made and mounted a shelf where the microwave was before (it hung from above). Then I bought a regular microwave from Wal Mart and put it on the shelf. When we travel, the microwave is taken off the shelf and put under the bed.
For the vent, I bought a 12V vent hood with a light on ebay. The vent is mounted to the bottom of the shelf. Since the OTR microwave vent didn't vent outside, I cut a vent slot in the wall and mounted a standard RV range vent exhaust cover.
Here is a 12V range vent hood:

Here is the outside vent cover:
