Have searched the web but cannot find anywhere that sells a microwave that is for a caravan.  Does anyone know who supplies them? also do the ones that are supplied already fitted in the caravans have a lower wattage or a 12v option like TVs, kettles etc.

There are a number of new ones on ebay

The Wavebox is a 12v/240v portable microwave.

Approx £230 from Amazon and others.

Reviews on web.

Cheaper to buy a mains one for £20 or so.

Thanks for the thread on microwaves and others re using domestic ones.  The problem as I see it is that the domestic ones are very heavy and I am wary of the wattage when using on european camp sites.  Was surprised at the previous thread post by Birder that fitted ones are the same as domestic.  I did ask at the caravan showroom about buying one off the shelf but they did not sell any.

This one on the ebay thread link from Weekend Leisure (sorry about the copied font) might be okay but is it just the same as any other?  All the ones listed say suitable for a caravan at 240V.   Also has anyone had dealings with this company?  I've never bought off e-bay, scared of being done!

I use a domestic one with a grill. Much easier to clean than the gas grill and of course cheaper to run. I would check the campsite wattage before using it or turn everything else off if nessesary. 1000 watts = 4.35 amps. Most sites are at least 8 amp? Dont use oven and grill at the same time.
