Replacing microwave with convection microwave in 2500RL

[Jbtpat200]

We are wanting to replace our microwave with a convection microwave. We were told by our dealer that there isn’t a unit out there to fit. I’m still hoping that there might be an option....any ideas?

Oops--I edited your post instead of responding. And I haven't even had an adult beverage yet today! Sorry 'bout that...I fixed it.

Here's how I meant to respond the first time!

To ensure you get accurate responses, what year is your 2500RL? It helps if you fill out a signature line--the "How To" is here: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/gdrv4li...-to-your-posts

I guess the year would help...it’s a 2020. Thanks

Hi John & Pat

If the parts look-up is correct, attached is a picture of your microwave. (There is also a stainless steel version in the parts list) BTW . . . you know that a 2500RL is an Imagine, but many on this multi Grand Design product site would have to go and look that up. One more thing to add to your signature .

That looks like a pretty small opening to fit a convection microwave into. The original microwave is easy to remove. Four screws. This would allow you to measure the opening and the dimensions of the space behind, to go shopping for a replacement. If you find one, let us know! Several (including me) have that relatively small and basic microwave . . . although, it does work well for its intended purpose.

Thanks so much...Added Imagine to signature. The microwave is good but the oven is way too small. We will probably just get a counter top convection oven. Will keep everyone posted.

Not exactly an oven, but if you haven't seen or tried an Instant Pot, it is one of my DW's favorite kitchen devices. Perfect for the RV. Lots of YouTube videos on how to use.

Before you give up a large chunk of your counter space to a stand alone convection oven, you might want to give your built in oven a try. There are a lot of things that sit a few inches high and can be cooked on a baking sheet that fits the space available. Have a read through this thread . . . not a very "supportive" title, but some good back-and-forth discussion. https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...n-furrion-junk

Between the built in oven and the Instant Pot that Howard references, there is not much that Cate can't create in her RV kitchen.
