Hello everybody!
I recently purchased my first camper trailer, and I hope you'll forgive me if my question seems a bit newbie. My trailer didn't come with a microwave but instead had an air fryer installed by the private seller. Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me, and I've decided to purchase a microwave for my trailer.
However, I'm facing a problem: I don't know how to properly secure the microwave to prevent it from falling while on the road. A standard Walmart microwave would be the perfect size for my needs, but I'm unsure how to fix it in place. I found some RV-specific microwaves on Amazon that come with a special metal frame to be bolted to the cabinet, but they are 4-5 times more expensive than a regular microwave.
Could anyone suggest some affordable options for installing a standard microwave in my RV? Or maybe I'm not looking in the right places? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

If you want to make sure ie gets anchored, get a piece of 1 inch Aluminum angle, screw that to the bottom of the MW along the front edge, flat side forward, now when you set the MW inplace, fasten your metal trim that goes across the bottom front to both the cabinet and the Aluminum angle, I replaced the OEM MW about 9 months ago

The original was Black Panasonic,
This one a White Hamilton Beach it is a little bit wider than the OEM, and a little bit shorter, I needed to make the cabinet opening about 1 inch wider, the Black Trim from the old MW was a good fit
