microwave replacement March 02, 2024, 07:06:23 pm I know this topic has been beat to death but ( smile) that's never stopped me from adding one more beat. Since after ten plus years of ownership and never using the microwave from anything other then knowing we were plugged in we removed and covered the opening with a marine flex cover. Now we have a bit more room to store assorted dry goods. Glenmicrowave replacement

You got rid of your bread box?Say it's not so.I wish LD had had a microwave delete option, we definitely would have gone for it.We finally added a big enough inverter to use it...very occasionally.Enjoy the extra storage, the 24' models need all the storage they can get.Larry
Re: microwave replacement Reply #2 – March 03, 2024, 01:53:54 am Problem in reverse; Now that I have good solar, good batteries (400+AH) and a good inverter, I use the microwave exclusively. The Oven remains a repository for cat food and cat treats. Not a very efficient arrangement. Keeping the stove top and getting rid of the oven; turning it into a decent storage area would be great. Maybe a folding door with a catalytic Wave 3, since the propane connection is there..... RonB 2 Likes

Maybe a folding door with a catalytic Wave 3, since the propane connection is there..... RonBI was firmly in camp microwave was just an inefficient bread box when I bought my TK, but like Ron, my solar upgrade quickly make the microwave a useful appliance again.I still used the gas oven & cooktop frequently when it wasn’t too hot outside to use them. That was until last spring when I added an air fryer and portable induction burner for those warm days. Life changing, the air fryer cooks up anything, quicker and better than the oven ever could. Likewise the induction burner is far more powerful than the propane cooktop. And I can move either one outside when it’s really hot, using an extension cord plugged in to the fridge’s 120v outlet.This year I’m pondering removing the propane oven, something I considered blasphemy just two years ago. But I just don’t use it anymore. 1 Likes
Re: microwave replacement Reply #4 – March 03, 2024, 10:03:27 am Hi Dave; So I know just propane cooktops are standard fare on some 'campground hookup queens' types of motorhomes. I'd keep the cooktop, since you can have multiple items simmering at once. I don't have enough batteries to eliminate that capability. But the storage volume where the oven is now would hold your air fryer and induction cook top, yes? A cabinet door to match would help the looks. RonB 2 Likes
Re: microwave replacement Reply #5 – March 03, 2024, 01:03:02 pm "I wish LD had had a microwave delete option..."I asked for and was granted the deletion of the coffee maker, ice maker and awning on my 2004 IB. When I asked for the dual fuel water heater I was denied!

Re: microwave replacement Reply #9 – March 04, 2024, 01:46:29 pm Thanks, Glen! Those recipes look good. I've never had an air fryer, so I wasn't familiar with them. Looks as if it's basically a small convection oven, yes?Due to limited kitchen space, my cooking is all done with two devices: a one-burner propane stovetop, and a very small Dash mini toaster oven. I make gingerbread in my stovetop Omnia oven (although a Coleman camping oven would probably work just as well), and pizza in my Dash toaster oven. 1 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.
Re: microwave replacement Reply #10 – March 04, 2024, 02:13:17 pm Replacing OEM oven in LD with Air Fry Toaster Oven!Here's a good candidate... Dimentions are stated in the ad.Amazon.com: Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Toaster Oven, Brushed Stainless...I've been using an earlier version of the Breville Toaster Oven (sans air fry) in my home for years. I like it so well that I replaced my micro-wave with the same brand. 1 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.
Re: microwave replacement Reply #11 – March 04, 2024, 03:16:04 pm We have a 4 slice toaster and a big, loud and bulky air fryer. I hadn’t thought to replace the microwave with a new air fryer/toaster oven. It sounds like an interesting proposition which will require a little research and conversation with Margee. Interesting 🤔. 1 Likes

Re: microwave replacement Reply #13 – March 04, 2024, 07:37:26 pm "...take Into consideration how to deal with the hot exhaust venting from the top or rear."I can't speak to a situation where this Toaster Oven might be mounted in a tight space, but...In the several years I've used my Toaster Oven it has sat on the countertop under a cupboard. I used to be concerned that I might have a heat problem but the underside of the cupboard has never been more than just warm to the touch! Apparently their cooling system works well. Until my old unit gives up the ghost I cannot justify the newer Air Fryer even though I've been salivating over it for some time.
