Microwave Oven Attachment

I noticed this weekend that the gap between our Dometic microwave/convection oven and the bottom of the cupboard was over 1". After detaching the oven from the wall, I was shocked. The oven is only attached to the back wall. The weight of the oven and the bouncing of the trailer caused the metal attaching bracket to come loose from the wall and the wall to separate from the studs in the trailer. This is a poor design because all of the weight of the oven is cantilevered off the wall. After adding more screws to attach the wall to the trailer studs and the metal bracket to the wall, I also added two bolts through the bottom of the cupboard into the top of the oven (there were already threaded holes in the top of the oven for this attachment).
Please keep an eye on your oven attachment because mine was not far from falling off the wall.

You are fortunate that you caught it in time. Mine ended up on the cook top after a trip.
