Microwave installation in Westy vanagon

700 watt super tiny microwave installed. I used 1.5"x1.5" and 2"x2" angle aluminum from Lowes. Most of the hardware is stainless. I masked and painted the microwave bottom before installing in the camper - no photos of that. The extension cord goes through a 1.5" hole in the top of the closet and out over the area behind the seat in front of the engine cover. I'll post a photo of where that is maybe tomorrow.

Tom,
I am wondering if you are the son of Phyliss and Jim Boldway? If so let me hear from you. I am an old friend of theirs from Tucson. Keith Brooks 520-404-2875 khbrooks22@lycos.com
