Ensure you always have something tasty to eat with a quality camping microwave

If you and your family enjoy embarking on frequent road trip adventures and exploring new and exciting sights around Australia, then you can appreciate the need for a good caravan microwave oven. Whilst you might have the comfort of your RV to rely on, if you don’t have much in the way of food then the comfiest bed in the world won’t make the trip any more enjoyable. This is where having a small microwave for your caravan will offer an accessible and convenient alternative to doubling back in search of a service station or small town. More often than not, you’ll be spending most of your time out in the middle of nowhere in some far-flung camping ground, and local shops will not be a common sight. 

Benefits of having your own caravan microwave oven

The main advantage of having your own caravan is so you can enjoy affordable vacations that don’t require accommodation, flights or other expenses. It’s a chance to be self-sufficient and travel somewhere completely remote and secluded. This doesn’t mean you need to go without all creature comforts however, but it means you can still be self-sufficient without resorting to eating out at restaurants every night. Our camping microwaves and other RV cooking appliances give you that freedom. 

Our microwave range includes lightweight models specifically designed to be able to handle the bumps and movement from caravan travel, and include extras such as child locks and auto cook modes. For more information on our other RV specific products such as towing mirrors, annexe flooring and much more, call us today on 1800 RV PART (787 278).

Caravan Microwave FAQs

1. Can you use a regular microwave in a caravan?
Technically yes, but regular microwaves are not designed for mobile environments. Caravan microwaves are built to handle bumps and vibrations, have secure mounting options, and are usually more power-efficient. Using a regular microwave may also put too much strain on your caravan’s battery or inverter system when off-grid.

2. What size microwave is best for a caravan?
Most caravan microwaves are compact, with capacities ranging from 17L to 25L. A 20L microwave is usually a good balance for most travellers—large enough to heat meals and drinks, but small enough to save space and reduce power usage.

3. Can I run a caravan microwave off a 12V battery?
Not directly. Caravan microwaves typically run on 240V power, so you'll need an inverter that can handle the high wattage (typically 800–1200W). Keep in mind that running a microwave off a battery setup will drain power quickly, so it’s more efficient when plugged into mains power.

4. Are caravan microwaves different from household ones?
Yes. Caravan microwaves are designed with safety features like vibration resistance, child locks, and lower power consumption. They’re also built to be compact and more securely mounted to handle travel conditions.
