The microwave in our 2017 Travato 59K died the day before we left on a 6 week trip last summer, so we used it as a breadbox for the trip. This spring, we decided to remove the microwave and convert...

Thanks for posting the photos of your new RV. I’d love to be able to call ARV and say “I’ll take what David is getting”, but it’s probably out of my price range.
Thanks again.

The Onan 2800 generator should have no trouble running the Nespresso machine. You don't need an inverter; the Onan puts out 120 volts AC. We also have an Onan 2800, and it powers our microwave,...

I have a 2017 Travato 59K with 23,000 miles, and there is no evidence of crease. I would do what you are doing - take it to a Ram dealer or even a body shop.

I have an older Travato 59K without the inverter. The entertainment system, including the TV, is all 12V, so you don’t need an inverter for that.
