I previously installed a NovaKool Dual Compressor Refrigerator, and I took that opportunity to gut my original refrigerator cabinet and reshape to my liking.
One thing I never used much was the OEM Microwave oven. I know some people like it, and it can bake also, but we rarely if ever turned it on. We have found after camping over a few years what we really miss is a toaster oven and an air fryer. So I “skinned” the area over the refrigerator in matching cherry plywood to be able to install the appliance of my choice. Leaving the area open also allows the hot air to dissipate easier, and there is a small gap at the rear of the shelf to also help vent the heat from the fridge.
We ended up buying this diminutive guy:
It looks huge in the picture but is quite small (and inexpensive). But it does just about everything even has a rotating rotisserie and a rotating basket for things like air fried french fries. And of course it toasts as well:
We tried it out at home and especially like the rotating basket which makes french fries come out so much better.
For us this makes a lot more sense than a Microwave combo. And the tremendous heat an air fryer expels is best absorbed on an open shelf. So here it is:
I am going to need something to hold this thing down, so I ordered some small Z-brackets off Amazon. I’ll post more when they arrive and its safely screwed down, but so far this little thing seems perfect for our small RV kitchen.
