Well, While traveling up to Yellowstone the bracket that the oven is connected to broke and it fell forward landing with the front almost on the stovetop. broke a mirror on the way down. So, now the oven is on the bedroom floor for the remainder of this trip. Ahhh the wonders never stop.
I wonder if Damon has a better way of fastening these things up there. They are only held in place from the back of the oven which is fine in the brick house but not a bouncing down road.

On my Safari Cheetah, it has a metal frame about the oven that is connected to the upper cabinet and on both sides to the side cabinets. The top of the microwave is bolted to that frame at the top.

Here are the pix of the Microwave. I hope they come through.
There are 2 screws under the microwave, you have to remove the 2 filters to access them. They ar about 7/16 hex with a slot in them. the seem to be what is holding the ovan to the 3/4" plywood and those 2X2 brackets.

Well,
We got back home now a week. My warranty expired 9-9-09 while on this trip. I contacted Damon they referred me to the dealer. I talked to them, they asked for pictures. So I emailed them with pix they got back to me a few days later. Said that Damon would go ahead and fix this thing. I took the MH down to the dealer so they could see and know what to order. So, things are now on order. Hope it doesn't take 3 months like last time.

good,
Ron

There was also a 3/4 inch plywood that the oven was attached to. which was only attached to the 2X2's. The 2X2 was attached to the ceiling by 2 screws which broke. thus the oven fell.

I have noticed many things that are not well secured. I have had the cabinet fascia over the couch's fall apart and the front sun shade fell down on one side while driving n a trip. That will scare the hell out of you!!! ALL we substandard screws to contact points. VERY poor workmanship
