RV and Caravan Microwave FAQs
Can a caravan microwave run on a pure sine wave inverter?
Yes. A pure sine wave inverter works well with microwaves. Most 20L units draw around 700W and most 25L units draw around 900W. Your inverter should have enough surge capacity to handle the start-up load.
What size caravan microwave do most travellers choose?
A 20L model suits small vans and quick meals. A 25L model gives more room for bigger dishes. Both sizes fit well into standard RV kitchen cavities.
Is a flatbed microwave better for travel?
Flatbed designs have no glass turntable, which means less movement on rough roads. Turntable models heat food evenly and offer more auto-cook modes. Both are good choices depending on your cooking style.
Why does my microwave trip the inverter when I camp off-grid?
Microwaves need a high surge load when they start. If the inverter is too small, it will switch off. Low battery voltage can also cause a shutdown. A 700W to 900W caravan microwave needs an inverter with enough overhead and a deep cycle battery that keeps steady voltage under load.
Built for Real Cooking on the Road
A caravan microwave oven gives you more than just a quick reheat. From heating frozen meals to baking veggies, these units bring oven-like features into your van, camper, or RV.
Designed for Aussie travel, these microwaves are compact and built to handle bumpy roads. With options like auto-cook settings, flatbed designs, and child locks, they make life easier at camp. If you want more than a kettle and frypan, a caravan microwave is a solid upgrade for your mobile kitchen.
Do caravan microwave ovens use a lot of power?
Caravan microwaves usually run on 220–240V and draw between 700 and 900 watts while in use. They place a solid load on your setup, so check whether your inverter, generator, or mains supply can handle the draw. If you’re off-grid, make sure your battery system is large enough and your inverter is rated for the required power.
What size microwave oven should I get?
It depends on how much cooking you plan to do and how much space you have. A 20L model is great for singles or couples. If you travel with family or want more cooking options, a 25L microwave gives more room without taking up too much space.
