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. Bear in mind that a typical single axle caravan will have a load capacity of personal belongings of around 150kg. The microwave oven featured in the video weighs 13kg. 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.
