I need to replace the microwave in our '95 Roadtrek190P. The original model NN-4461C is 18W x 10-1/2H x 12-1/2 deep. Panasonic advised me their smallest one is now over 19 inches wide. Anyone have any suggestions? :bow:
 
Our Panasonic went out a three years ago on a trip. I stopped at a Walmart and bought their cheapest private label brand. It has a smaller magnetron(700 watts(?)) to keep power consumption low for the genny and it has an excellent user interface. It still works fine.
 
I replaced my Panasonic (NN-S446, 18" width) in my 1999 Popular last weekend. I could not find a microwave that is 18"W, 17" or 19". I found this at BestBuy:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-0-7-cu-ft-compact-microwave-black/6315750.p?skuId=6315750

It is 3/8" narrower 1/14" shorter than the Panasonic. I moved the bracket up on the left, made a shim from3/8" plywood for the right side and moved it up also. The installation looks good and is as secure as the original was.The microwave has a turntable, lots of control features, and works good for a 700 watt oven. It is also available in white, but the two local BestBuy only stocked black. You can also order online.
