Title: microwave replacement

What would be a direct sharp R1850A microwave replacement in my 2002 that can still be purchased.

I did a direct replacement for ours with Sharp R-1881LSY.  Easy replacement needing two people, but I am old maybe one younger me.  I am looking for the receipt from where I purchased it.

Well pleased with the upgraded unit.  It is virtually the same as 20 years ago.

That's the same one I put in our U320 and we are both very happy with it too

I also replaced ours with that model.  I just hung it back on the same back plate.  The box has angled cut lines on it to assist in the installation.  Set the microwave on the box, push back and lift slightly to catch the bottom lip.  Lift the front and reattach.

I did have my son lift and hold the MW while I screwed the long attachment screws.  Much easier with two people

One thing to notice when getting a replacement, is the type of door hinge.
Some units open and require more side door space.  Other units do not "increase" in width when opened.
On my coach the door hinge is on the full wall side, and I needed a unit that did not get wider when the door opened.
