I bought my Redwood off the lot so there were a couple of options it did not have that I would have liked it to have.
One was a Convection Microwave, our last SOB 5th Wheel had a Convection Microwave and we really enjoyed it.
Well yesterday was the day, I removed the factory installed standard Microwave and installed a Convection Microwave.

Looks good. Our 2012 36RL has the convection micro from the factory build. Don't forget to open your outside range/micro exhaust vent. You don't want a fire from all the heat and don't want the extra moisture inside either. Just be sure to resecure the thumb latches on the vent lid before traveling or it might fly off after breaking. I can reach 8' on my toes, but can't reach the vent at 9' without help. We opted for a 2 step, step stool. Would rather not scratch the full body paint with some stick or poker.

Yep, thanks for the reminders.
One feature this microwave has is a heat sensor, if the heat from the stove top below gets too hot the exhaust fan will turn on automatically 🙂

I made this from a $4 flea market fish net to open/close the vent without a stool.

The auto feature wouldn't help ours, we bought the "as seen on tv" induction cookers a couple years ago & haven't had the cover off the gas cook top since. DW sets the cookers on the island when cooking, "so she csn look out the windows".
