I'm thinking of getting a microwave for my next truck which will already have an APU and 1500 watt inverter, but I'm curious of what set ups people use for placing a .5 to .7 cubic inch microwave oven inside on of the cabinets.

[EDIT]
Found a picture:
-
I drive an 09 cascadia and my microwave won't fit in any of the cabinets so I have it under the bed. The area under the bed is divided into 3 and you can only get at the middle from inside so it's wasted space otherwise.

and mine sits on the floor in front of the bed -

placed it over the passenger seat. Theres a ledge that runs right around the cab so that works for an anchor.
I also have a 1500 watt inverter,{pure sine} and its more than enough for the microwave and fridge. And my fridge is big, 4.5cuft in size. I don't think fridges use all that much power these days, unlike the microwave.
Good luck. -
My last truck I had a 1500 watt inverter and a dorm fridge, never had any problems. I would like to get a 2500 watt next time just because lol

I have a 2015 cascadia and had it strapped down on top bunk until I figured out a better way
This is a Rival 700w sub 50.00
microwave from Walmart
What I did was pulled drawer out
On each side of slide rail is a metal tab that can be depressed to separate drawer from rails
Next I removed the door and striker plate
Next I raised lower bunk if you look along edge that the bunk rest on you will see three screws remove these as well this will allow cabinet to flex enough to slide microwave in
Put removed parts / screws back in place took me ruffly 30 min
Our company would only let us have a big inverter if they install it to many people melting wires by bad installs it's a 1500w from Napa auto works great mounted behind drivers seat .Attached Files:
