    I have a Whirlpool WMC20005YB. It ONLY functions on a pure sine wave inverter, so I've got a Xantrex Prowatt SW2000 running it. But I do really like how it fits into the shelf nicely with the strap to hold it in.

    Thanks a lot! Where did you purchase the two items?

    I bought the microwave at ABT near Chicago, and the inverter was purchased online(probably Amazon, I don't remember exactly where I bought it), all parts including wires ended up short of $500. Yeah, you can get a basic microwave a lot cheaper that will run on a regular inverter for around $250-300, but in my opinion, the fit and finish was well worth the cost.

    Well if look at a 1995 freightliner and today's freightliner the cabinets are same style. Besides shape more round vs square no different. There is refresh coming for freightliner in 2016. And the new western star is all real wood cabinets. For refrigerator you removed cabinet door under TV for it.

    Moosc. Are you saying that Freightliner is reconfiguring the sleeper for 2016? I was thinking of going with a T680, but I don't want a Paccar motor. I love the Cascadia DD15. The only problem is the darn ergonomics in the sleeper. If they fix all that like the T680, (or even close) I would go with the Cascadia.

    You can also find the microwave a Home Depot. That's where I got mine. Never saw any negative comments or reviews on it before I bought mine (Most have been on the positive side) and it seems like since the Half Pint has gone the way of the Doh-doh bird, this is quickly becoming the standard for a lot of drivers.

    This actually triggered me into searching for and looking at a 2016. Thank God the weed burner exhaust is gone. And it looks like the stealth CB/AM-FM/TV Antenna set up has now gone back to the stupid perch mount set up.....(Which, for all intents and purposes was better than the stealth set up)

    I couldn't find anything either. Even the official grief hotlines site doesn't have anything. Only the 2015 models.
