![]() ![]() ![]() NOTE: When you add your Microwave to the cart, we will also add a 12 Volt Power Port that hooks to the battery via 8' of wire with 2 connecting rings on the end. You were right, it is essential to the installation" Many thanks for the great service and product, And again, thanks for including the the power cord. "Frank and Marissa, Got the Wave Box no trouble, and it works perfectly as advertised. No more marginal 12 Volt appliances with Power Hunt High performance Real 12 Volt Appliances. Power Hunt's new improved Wave Box 12 Volt Microwave hooks directly to the battery, bypassing your cigarette lighter's weakness. New space age interior improves performance by more than 10%, providing even heating without the need for a turntable. Running the vehicle will insure that the alternator will provide more power than you will actually need. Note: RoadTrucker Recommends you run the vehicle when using your microwave, since the power draw (55 Amps) on a standing battery tends to be weak. Enough to cook or reheat food and beverages almost anywhere. Sporting 660 Watts of Real 12 Volt Power. No Inverter needed, so no loss of power and no loss of fuel. The Power Hunt Portable Wave Box 12 volt microwave puts the power and convenience of your kitchen right in your vehicle. For example, if you have a 1,000 Watt Microwave, that takes 2 minutes to heat a cup of coffee, expect this 660 Watt Microwave to take about 3 minutes. PS- if there's anyone out there with a similar electrical set-up, I'd like to know! I've yet to see another one like it.Note: Cooking time may be longer than your home microwave, depending on the size you are used to. So far we've had no issues with either lack of power or heat build-up. We do most of our heavy-duty cooking outside on a campground fire ring (or our own small portable fire-ring), but yes, we use the microwave fairly often - and the convection oven occasionally. If we're about to hit the road, no problem: as soon as the engine's started, that extra alternator ("underhood generator") will re-charge the coach batteries. and it worked! Nicely! Our Roadtrek has a somewhat unusual set-up, with 300W of solar on the roof, a larger-than-standard (at the time) 3KW inverter, the "underhood generator", and four 6-volt L-A AGM coach batteries.Įven after the pizza, with batteries down to 30%, on a sunny day the batteries re-charged within 4 hrs or so. While at home (just to experiment, with no shore power), wife used the convection oven to make a home-made pizza, about 25 minutes after reaching temp. We do use the microwave a fair bit, mostly for re-heating. We have a 2015 RT SS Agile (short/tall, 3.0L), which came with the microwave/convection oven. It's a weird little toaster but I wouldn't build another van without one! The main things it's not good at but a microwave is are reheating stuff in plastic (will melt), and reheating beverages. When used as a toaster the lamp cycles back on irrespective of temperature, so more Ah are consumed and the metal shell of the unit becomes hotter. When used as an oven the lamp stays off more once target temp is achieved. Power draw is about 1300W but it cycles on and off at a variable duty cycle. When I want to heat something that was designed to be microwaved, I scoop it out of the plastic dish it comes in and into the metal pan. This pan fits neatly inside it, as does this tiny silicone baking mat for easy cleanup cookies. It does take some practice and experimentation to get the best results with baking (lower temperature and longer cook time = less surface browning and more even cooking inside). It's great for reheating leftovers and makes perfect toast every time, and can also do some rudimentary baking (chocolate chip cookies!). Reheated bread or pizza comes out tasting like it's fresh out of the oven, not a soggy mess. Unlike a microwave, the result is delicious and crispy, lightly browned and evenly heated. ![]() You just place the food inside, hit a button, and it's ready 1.5-2 minutes later. Like a microwave, it doesn't need to be pre-heated which saves time and amp-hours. It's sort of a cross between a toaster oven and a microwave. It's quite physically small compared to a microwave (13"x12"x10.25"). I went with an infrared toaster oven instead of a microwave. ![]()
