Cooking with gas.. or electric.

Hi team,

I currently have a SMEV grill in my 2007 Welcome 75 and I’ve been wondering if there was enough space to pop in a combo microwave oven.

Has anyone else managed to accomplish this?

I think, a low wattage micro is okay but I think a combi might trip the EHU, it all depends on the start-up watts?

Was only thinking of using it when hooked up. Would this make a difference Hobo?

I don't think so but it depends on what M/H you have?

I think Lenny HB will be able to tell you more?

Should be OK bear in mind the start up power can be up to double the microwave rating ones like the better Panasonics with inverter technology have a lot lower start up power. Most of the small ones should be OK on a 6 amp outlet, definitely Ok on 10 amps.

Super info team. Thank you all so much.

I understand that "built in" microwaves have to have a slightly different set of operating innards due to venting / condensation issues. Something else for you to investigate.

Our Elddis came with what turned out to be a standard table top model mounted above the cooker. When we used it I noticed that the internal surfaces would get quite wet. After little use, but around 18 months old, it started cutting out after 4 mins use. It was replaced by the manufacturer with a similar model but I've added a mains powered fan to assist with venting. No repeat issues so far.
