Coachman Daewoo Microwave

Jason

No experience of Coachman but I had to swap the Daewoo microwave in my previous Bailey motorhome as it stopped working. I suspect all microwaves of that size will be fairly similar in power terms. Best to measure the Daewoo and start searching online. Bailey suggested a Sharp microwave as the best replacement which I managed to find in Argos at £100 cheaper than going to Bailey, it might be similar if you go to Coachman. Do you know how it fits in? Mine was screwed to a removeable shelf.

Hi David,

It is held in by a piece of wood above the top of the microwave, the wood has two clips on it, it is very easy to remove.

I replaced a Daewoo with a Russell Hobbs microwave in my motorhome as the size was similar.

Think yours may be same fitting as mine, however, my piece of wood is held on by a magnetic strip, on mine you are advised to remove the microwave when on the move, i simply lift out and put on the floor, I think this is to prevent it from smashing through the roll down front if you should corner a bit sharp,  also it is quite heavy so it means the weight is on the floor not up high, so provided you buy one that fits in the space alocated do not think it would matter what brand you bought

My Daewoo failed as well. I couldn't work out how to get it out of my Lunar caravan. I asked my dealer to source a suitable replacement and fit it. They fitted a Russell Hobs and charged an hours fitting time. I think it was quite a fiddle to fit.

It is probably different on a caravan but on Autosleepers motorhomes they drill up from below the support shelf direct into the chassis of the microwave. A bit Heath Robinson in my view but I had to do the same and it was fiddly. You take pot luck on where the screws ends up.
