Micowave Convection Oven

Use it all the time, including doing a turkey breast for our thanksgiving dinner out camping last fall.  Use the metal plate when cooking in convection or conv/micro combination modes but make sure to remove it if you are just going to use the microwave by itself ... microwaves and metal do not mix.  The programming takes a bit of time to figure out but it isn't too complicated.  The instruction book that comes with it is informative for about the first 2 uses and then got set aside.  As others have stated cooking in a convection oven is slightly different than cooking in a regular oven.  When cooking less than 15 minutes and 350 degrees it runs pretty much true to a regular oven, but if you are going to cook hotter or longer than that you will normally need to make some adjustments to either your cooking time (shorter) or temp (cooler).

Our second hand 2012 177 did nor have a microwave/convection installed, and we bought a Doetic from Campers world that fits perfectly.  Looks just like it belongs. so far have just used the microwave-will have to try some chocolate chips for the grandkids.

Our 178 (manufactured 11/2013) came with a Sunbeam convection microwave Model #22202.  However, an owner's guide was not included and I have not found one online.  Is this a common omission by FR?  Any suggestions of another publication I can refer to for generic information?

We have found the oven handy on several occasions so far.  We don't have a microwave at home, so the novelty of microwave popcorn is fun for the kids.  We've tried the basics.  I need better cookware than just foil for it. It is worth having it even if you only use it occasionally - especially on rainy days.
