    Hey All. I just moved into a 2015 Cascadia and ignorantly assumed there would be provisions for a microwave in the sleeper of a 2015 truck. I'm thinking I am wrong.
    Please. Can anyone help me see any possibility? Not looking to take a saw to anything. Maybe I'm missing something. Or, there is an odd shaped microwave on the market that might fit.

    THANKS!

    I've got the same problem. :biggrin_25513:

    Right now I stow it under the bunk and pull it out when needed. What a giant pain in the neck.

    Are those Double Bunks?

    Are you using the Top Bunk?

    As long as you don't intend to sleep up there..
    Even that MIGHT be ok too.
    I wouldn't put my head on that side.

    I got mine 'strapped to the Bottom of the Top Bunk'
    I was going to post them with the [.img] tags.
    But they are rather large so

    Oh and it's pretty tight..not sure if you can see it there, One side of the Microwave is bent a little from when I had the Ratchet on the side of the MW.
    I had 1 Strap for a while, which worked good also, but did add the 2nd one.

    One more thing I suggest not sleeping 'under it'.
    Not because I think it will come down (but that's another good reason just in case).
    But if you hit your head on it..It hurts like hell...trust me.

    If anyone from Freightliner is reading > What the hell were you thinking when you designed the interior of your trucks??? Massive oversight, 3 things we need space for, Fridge/cooler - TV - Microwave.

    I ordered mine with the microwave cabinet but lost closet space in exchange. It is still only wide enough for the Sharp Halfpint microwave.
    I managed to buy the Sharp Halpint from the Freightliner dealer as it is no longer produced.
