| We are getting ready to order our 179 and we are trying to decide if we want a microwave oven or the convection oven. What do you guys recommend? |

Both. It's standard. ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

| Yep, it's a combination oven. It comes with a metal baking rack that you need to remove if you're microwaving. |

| I'm not sure it's standard, but I would go with the convection microwave. You do have to be plugged in to shore power or have a generator to run the microwave and tv. |

The convection/microwave oven is an option, no other option like a non convection microwave. BTW - it adds 51 lbs. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

Mcarter, My 2016 180 came with the microwave /convection combo and it came with the Hood River edition, Luxury interior package. I have used it to toast, make popcorn and cook a pizza (now that's luxury!) while camping and it works well. Even though I have only used it a handful of times, I think it's a good option and gives you a real (small) oven on the road when you have ac power or generator. congrats on the new pod! I'm sure you'll enjoy it! rgds John ------------- http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&title=slopod-180-mods-johnsue - SLOPODMODS John&Sue,SLO,CA 2016 180 HRE, 2013 F150 Eco Boost

When we purchased our 177 the microwave/convection combo was standard equipment. We opted to not get it as we normally boondock and really like to either cook over the fire or over a charcoal grill. So, it is up to personal preference and as an above poster stated, maybe you want to use that 51 lbs. to a different use. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

Our 179 came with the microwave/convection combination unit. We haven't used it a lot but we have used it for various things. It's a handy item to have. ------------- Bob&Margaret 2017 179 2016 Toyota 4Runner 2 sets of Golf Clubs |
