Hi all
I am the proud owner of a 2012 Lunar Clubman SB. It has a fitted Sanyo EM-S2297V/BK microwave, which has packed in. I don't usually have a problem sorting these things but I cannot, for the life of me, see how to remove it!!!!
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

I replaced an eye level microwave in a 2015 Bailey caravan. It was held in by 4 screws coming up through the wood finish panel on which it sat. The screws were masked by a small sticker same pattern as the wood, difficult to see unless you get under the mounting panel and look up.

We have a Lunar Quasar and I'm not sure that our microwave is fixed at all as it occasionally moves forward when travelling.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.

Thank you. I thought that might be the case but I don't want to yank at it if it's fastened in.

In caravan at the minute. Just had to push microwave back in. It plugs into a socket in the cupboard to it's right.

My 2016 Lunar Quasar microwave is the same as Rainbowsend, it just sits 'unfixed' in a cupboard with it's feet in depressions to locate it, there is a swing down wooden 'bracket' that simply wedges it in place, the front decorative 'bezel' is simple a swing up cupboard door the same as adjacent cupboards with a big hole in it! Oh yes, it does tend to jump out of it's place and move around on bumpy roads!

Having Googled your van, the microwave fitting looks very different, so how much in common with my and Rainbowsend there is I wouldn't like to say, but caravan manufacturers rarely seem to do 'clever', so expect something quite crude!

Hi, I have the same van and had the same problem a few years ago. After much head scratching I discovered that you have to remove the screws from the hinge in the adjacent cupboard. One of them is longer than the others and holds the fascia in place. I seem to remember that it is the lower hinge, but it was a long time ago! There is also a primitive wooden clamp above the microwave which you will need to release. Hope this helps.
