2021 320s BD microwave delete

kolmansoifer

Hi all,
I have a 2021 320s BD and am removing my microwave due to lack of use.
I contacted Nucamp because I heard they might have a cupboard door and trim for my model.
Well, it seems they do not make one for my particular trailer.  Bummed.
What have others done in my situation?  Post some awesome microwave delete pics if you have any.

Thanks all,
KS

They used to put the air conditioner in that location. Here was my solution to repurposing that area in my 2015. I suspect the task would be even easier in a 2021 as--unlike the air conditioner--the microwave is already set in a (mostly) finished cabinet.

In those days they did apparently sell a matching door for that hole, but I ended up making my own. I did find it had a tendency to swing open in transit and scatter my stuff all over the cabin, but I devised a simple retention system to mitigate that problem.

Here are a few pics of the resulting cabinet after microwave removal.  I made the door from 1/4" baltic plywood and found hinges similar to the ones on the back cabinets.  I have a latch on the bottom to keep the door shut during travel.  You can also see the little cubby that I built when I removed the television.  It's quite handy for small items.  That's a nylon flap over the Alde panel to cut down on nighttime light. The Luci light is handy for reading and doesn't use up any battery juice.

Well, I finally got off my tush and deleted my microwave.  3/8" Baltic Birch plywood, clean satin stain.  Gonna use flexible poster board to hide the wires.  Pretty happy with how it turned out.  Best to you all.
