In my previous post, I forgot to mention that the generator still preforms and all other systems appear to be normal. old trucker

Our micro has a circuit breaker on the inverter.

OT,
Unless a previous owner has upgraded the inverter, the microwave is not on an inverter circut, but likely as not, you already know that. My 2 cents worth is to listen to the 2 Daves!

On a '99 if the original owner ordered the 2000W inverter option the microwave IS powered by the inverter and has its own dedicated breaker in the inverter panel. Used ours to warm some coffee last weekend. No generator and piping hot coffee what's not to like.

On our 2000 built in 6/99 there are three breakers that could trip to keep the microwave from working.
First the GFI breaker at the sink. Cycle that one.
Second the breaker at the electrical panel.
Thirdly, the breaker at the inverter. But on our coach, that breaker will shut down other outlets too......like the bath GFI.
We have had all of those trip under different circumstances at one time or another.
If none of those get you going, did you try Dave F's suggestion?
OT, call me if you'd like. I think you have my number.

Yup, done it many times in forest service campgrounds during non-genset hours. Sure does drain the batteries!!!

OK since Old Trucker and I have the exact same coaches I went out, unplugged mine and did some tests.
With GFI over the sink tripped, the outlets in bath and kitchen are dead. Microwave and lights still work. The red breaker (labeled "convection oven") in the picture below killed the microwave. Any built in microwave should be on a dedicated circuit, especially a convection oven.
There are buttons on the inverter that will kill power output but other items would be affected. If resetting this breaker doesn't work you probably should take the outlet out and check power at the wires. Outlets do fail internally and it's tight up there but that's the next step in troubleshooting.
EDIT: not impossible for the breaker to have failed also, it's easy to pull and check continuity on it.

I stand corrected. The micro isn't on the GFI circuit. After 8 years you would think I would know
