How to secure microwave to mount?

I must be missing some pieces or part but have no idea what I need to purchase. I just bought a 2008 Coachman Leprechaun. The previous owner neglected to tell me that the microwave shakes loose when you drive :(

I have placed the feet of the microwave back in the mount that is screwed down. There must be another piece or part that holds the microwave in place secure to mount. Can someone please tell me what I should be looking for? Perhaps even any link to the pieces that I need?

Find the model number and do a search for the installation instructions.

Most of these microwaves are designed to be installed in stick and brick homes, not bouncing down the road. Often they don't have anything to hold the microwave in place, other than depressions in the bottom rails. You could try some hot glue in the depressions, then put the microwave in it. Another thing I've done (I've installed microwaves in homes for years) is take the trim kit off, and cut a piece of wood that you can wedge between the cabinet floor above, and the microwave top. Cut it just a little bit longer than the distance between the bottom of the cabinet floor above the microwave, and the microwave top. That way you can put it in, then twist it and it should hold tight.
