Microwave Plug

   Hi, all!  Most of you probably already know this, but when I took my pod into the dealer to have it de-winterized, I also had them check the microwave (under warranty) - because it didn't have any power to it.  I had checked the breakers and fuses but couldn't find a problem.  Since the microwave is screwed into place in the pod, I had assumed the power plug was behind the unit.  Not true!  The plug for the microwave is in the cupboard above the sink, on the far right - and yes, it was unplugged!  Since the microwave was one of the first things I check to see if I have power to the pod when using shore power, I at first thought there was something wrong with either the shore power or my electrical system!  Still a newbie, and still learning.  Sigh.

	has happened to a lot of folks, sometimes the cord even gets knocked around depending on what you put in your cabinets there and it will get unplugged and folks will have the same issue. glad it was just the plug

	Good to know! We're heading out in the Novapod end of May for 5 nights to start our 2nd season with our 178. Can't wait.

	The semi random nature of pod construction means your plug will fall in an area.. about the same on most pods... ours fell in such a spot that a large can of beans will just fit under the plug, after it pushes that pesky plug out of the way just enough to break the connection.. intermittently.
