At least on my Tradewinds there isn't anything else to attach to in a lot of places, including the microwave mounting plate. I just replaces it and couldn't find any structure to attach to. National put twenty screws into the wood panel to attach the 60 lb microwave. It was a little scary so I put 16 of the 1/4 inch nut rivets and then another 16 screws all into the wood panel wall. There just wasn't any other choice. The more you put in the less any one has to support.
So it looks like the answer to your original question, at least from my experiance with a 99 Tradewinds, is no you haven't missed anything.
