Best Microwaves for RVs

An RV microwave has two hard constraints most buyers overlook: the physical opening is usually 17–19 inches wide with limited depth, and shore power or generators typically cap usable wattage at 700–900W. Every model below is 19 inches wide or less with a depth of 15 inches or less — sized to fit a standard RV cabinet. Check your exact opening with a tape measure before ordering.

• ✓ Measure your RV cabinet opening in all three dimensions — width, height, and depth — before browsing. Factory openings vary by RV brand and model year.
• ✓ Shore power typically delivers 30A or 50A service, but other appliances running simultaneously can limit what's available for a microwave.
• ✓ A 700W microwave draws about 1200W of input power — factor this into your total load calculation for generator use.
• ✓ Low-profile models (under 12" tall) are common in RV galley kitchens where overhead cabinet space is tight.
• ✓ A turntable of at least 10" is enough for a standard bowl or mug — the most common RV use case.
