Questions about having a microwave in my semi-truck

FWIW, instead of a microwave I use a toaster oven. I cook in aluminum pie plates (comes in sets of three, use them a couple of times and replace). I also precook most of my meals (easy to do because I get home time every weekend).

My International LT counter has a strap to strap down a microwave or toaster oven. I discovered the hard way that you have to strap it down very tight or else it’ll vibrate out from under the strap!

 

Just don't drive like a maniac, and it'll be fine. I can't take pics right now, I won't be anywhere near my truck for the next two weeks as I'm on mandatory vacation.

Bought a $45 700 watt microwave from Walmart almost 4 years ago, still works like the day it was new. I’m on my second Rand McNally GPS, at $500+ a clip. The microwave is the least of my worries.

 

Like everyone else.. I got a cheap 700 watt microwave from Wal-Mart a few years ago and it still works good as new. Mine is strapped to the cabinet behind the driver's seat. I keep the truck idling whenever I use it. The best advice I can give you is don't forget to take that glass turntable out before you get rolling. The rattling will drive you nuts.
