Microwave motorhome advice

When we are at home, the vast majority of any year, we eat in the main home cooked meals with lots of vegetables. However when we are in the van we try and keep things simple and some ready meals fit that purpose. We always interrogate the contents! The beauty of them is that they can be cooked  or reheated in a microwave which is after all what this thread is about. You may even wish to bring your own pre-cooked meals from home which are equally suitable for being reheated in the microwave.

Mind, pies aren’t healthy anyway of course, definitely in the once in a blue moon category.

Try telling that to a Wiganer ... 😂

If the physical size of the microwave is the problem ? We manage with one called a Daewoo QT3, very compact  (I think it might be the smallest on the market ?) But with a standard size plate.....dont ask me how ? But it fits in a cupboard with the cupboard door shut.

In our V Line 600.

Thanks all, after reading all the posts wife and l sat down had a good chin wag on how many times we used the microwave in the vans we had, came to the conclusion the space was better utilised for other items.

We tend to cook all our meals no ready stuff, slow cooker, Cadac and the oven, hob and grill, what more do you need

Ps and those evening meals out, not to many though

Yes, we have one, Tardis of a Microwave called: Daewoo QT or a QT3

standard size inside plate, smaller on outside. Available on Amazon at £52 or £54. 600 watt takes slightly longer to cook but bargain.

Fits into our under the sink cupboard. In our PVC. Oops this is a double post sorry.

Tried a Remolska pain int bum.

Really, rayjsj - the Remoska is a cooking device , not a cushion 

it was a pain because the handle didnt fold.(no comments from the cheap seats please !)

and it took up too much space. And it was very expensive. 

I use the microwave for various things. The ones in the previous caravan and MH were great never had an issue with them.

The one we have in the new caravan has an inbuilt cut off that is very annoying. It appears to be fine for things like microwave rice, jacket potatoes and reheating, however if I try to do a poppadom in it it shuts off after 1 minute and won't restart for 10 mins   

Sounds like it is overheating, probably through lack of air circulation. Trouble with factory fitted ones, you are relying on the designers/fitters doing their job correctly and reading the ovens instructions.

I prefer standard (albeit small) generally available oven.Much cheaper too.See my previous posts.
