I got the 700 watt basic microwave from Walmart 2 1/2 years ago and it's still going strong too. I think it might outlast the truck, it seems pretty sturdy. I put the glass plate under my duffle bag, it's easier than wrapping it in a towel.
I also use a Hot Logic warmer, and it's great. Dinner is ready when I stop that way, and I often get so distracted with eating I forget to change the duty status after doing my post trip inspection. It works great for leftovers as well as frozen tv dinners.

You can fit an air fryer in there and have endless possibilities

Put a big folded up towel in the microwave when not in use,it keeps the glass tray from bouncing around.
Still undecided Thanks this. -

Just got moved into a new Volvo VNL with a built in fridge. After running with a cheap Walmart fridge for the past 5 years................I don't miss the compressor ratlle on rough roads!
I still don't understand why Volvo insists on that stupid cubby above the closet on the passenger side that's meant for an old style TV! Most microwaves won't fit! I had to downsize a bit.

Had to remove the TV mount ( I don't use it) and it slid right in!

That size microwave works for everything I need it to, I wouldn't want to go without it.

No. I installed a microwave in my truck a few days after I created this thread in June 2022, and I have drove with this microwave with a glass plate in it since then. I don't wrap the glass plate in anything when I drive. I just leave the glass plate in the microwave. I don't even notice the glass plate rattling when I drive. I am bewildered at why most other drivers think it is such a big problem.Last edited: May 14, 2024
