Microwave location height

We will be having an Escape 19 built. My wife is 5ft 3" and we are wondering if she will be able to safely put things in or out of the microwave above the Fridge. Could someone possibly measure that height.

Welcome Mark,
To out little Escape world. Some critical measurements are best obtained from the factory. Your salesperson is the best place to ask for that information.

If you don’t intend on getting the oven escape was willing to put mine under the stovetop.

Wife and i have our microwave mounted under the stove. Easier to put in or remove food from that height as i am 5'6 and wife is sane. Looked at trailers in canada and decided that the best for us. Have our e19 home now and love it.

I agree the stock location doesn't seem especially safe to me.

Get the larger optional 6 cu ft 3 way refrigerator with the separate freezer and have the microwave installed under the two burner cooktop. You'll love the larger refrigerator and having a separate freezer and it solves the microwave height issue.

If you want an oven get the microwave convection oven under the cooktop.

This is what we are doing as well. We like to make soup and take frozen servings with us for quick and easy healthy meals so for us the larger refrigerator is an important option, especially for longer trips, and the microwave to warm everything up will be easier to access under the stove.

I'm 5'6". I have a microwave that I use all the time that was installed in the stock location in a 5.0TA. I don't find it to be an issue. I guess because I've had a combo microwave/stove vent over the top of my stove in my home for decades. YMMV
