Hi there just wondering if anyone takes/uses a microwave int eriba when away? We bought one but now wondering if we actually need it? thoughts advice etc welcome blessings Rev Ry

Many thanks for this very helpful, we are presuming reading other posts re electrical usage on sites is not to have too many electrical appliances going at the same time

We used to take one in our Familia 320 and also our Troll 552 as there was an area of work surface over the fridge where it fitted and we piled some other stuff on top of it. We had a Tesco one which was inexpensive and received good reviews (and has a grill!)

However, we never took one in our Troll 540 or in the Troll 530 as there as no space to put it, and they do weigh a fair bit if you have to keep lugging them different places. We also took a small mini oven for its grill function (warming croissants etc.)

I suppose it really depends what use you will make of it - we will be joining one of our children and family in summer in a folding camper, the microwave will be useful for warming milk and sterilising etc. and for quick snacks, otherwise we now do without and use a variety of implements just as others do. I manage with a Cadac and a three burner hob just fine

I use one of these http://www.thedoubleskilletpancompany.com/

It acts like a mini oven and works very well,

many thanks all blessings

We often carry a small microwave oven in our Troll 540. We try to camp all year round and in winter we find the microwave really useful for doing soups, chillis and casseroles etc that we have batch cooked and frozen at home.
The microwave fits nicely under one of the long beds crossways and is used in the awning if it’s up or on the front dinette table.

I’m always conscious of the way we have moved away from real camping.....we take tv, microwave, induction hob, cadac etc. We have hot water, a big awning and a mover. I remember the old days in another place when these sort of subjects came up and the Spartans would leap to their keyboards chanting that this was not real camping and nobody needed a tv etc blah blah. Thankfully we’re more friendly here so I don’t mind admitting that we like the comfort and ease that our style of Eribaing gives us.
ps is the Nespresso machine taking this a bit far?😇

I wanted to slip in the Nespresso, but Mrs J insisted on bringing George Clooney if I did....

We take a microwave and find it very useful. We sit it on top of glass plate over the hob as we don't use that at all. Cadac and George Foreman Egg ( not unlike Remoska ) complete our cooking equipment.

The previous owners had put one in where the truma heater should be.......but we took it out. We use a 30Euro halogen oven, an induction hob and a cadac. It all depends what you want to cook, if re heating is important, then a microwave might be the jobby for you.

Wow thxs for all the info and suggestions love the coffee machine bits and we may take tv for 4 nights and over etc why not, creature comforts there to help us do what we like doing. Thxs for all the comments cheers Rev Ry x
