Understanding how much power your pitch provides and your appliances consume is important. However, I’ll focus more on the power available on a caravan pitch. In the video above, John references the scenario of running a microwave oven from a generator. However, its important you always check the specific requirements for each appliance. Typically microwave ovens may state a 25mm gap requirement around the appliance. Different makes and models have different ventilation requirements, as there is a fan located on the back microwave ovens. However, again as referenced in the video, it’s not simply a case of measure to fit. Microwave Oven Size Requirementsīefore you can choose a replacement oven for your caravan or motorhome, you need to measure the space where it will be located. So a microwave oven in this scenario is taking up around 9% of the weight allowance. The microwave oven featured in the video above weighs 13kg.īear in mind that a typical single-axle caravan will have a load capacity of personal belongings of around 150kg. Understanding the weight of your caravan is very important, as you need to keep the total weight of the caravan within its legal limit. However, if/when it breaks, it does give you the option to consider if you actually need a replacement, or you could put that additional weight allowance to better use. Not every microwave oven is suitable to be used in a caravan or motorhomeĪs John discusses in the video above, many caravan and motorhome manufacturers now include microwave ovens as standard. The presenter, John, discusses some of the differences between different microwave ovens that you need to consider. If you have the time, I would encourage you to watch the quick video below from Practical Caravan. The type of unit located in your kitchen at home may be unsuitable for a range of reasons.
