2007 Sunseeker microwave power loss

I am a new MH owner, just bought this 2007 from an older couple. We have been camping for a little over a week, learning the ins and outs of this vehicle, really enjoying it! We have used the microwave several times, with no issues, but today, tried to do regular rice - requires a 15 minute cook time at 50% power after boiling. Almost to the end of the cook time, the unit simply shut off. I have yet to find/figure out the power converter "stuff", but... what troubleshooting would you do? fridge still works, lights are still on, outlets still work, it has been several hours since this happened. Did I fry the microwave???

Any help, thanks so much!

(I was trying to conserve propane, hence the rice in the microwave)

You might check the breakers you might have popped one. My 1st thought.

On the 2008 it is on the wall under the bed. A dark cover, open it and you will see switchs and fuses. Hope that helps.

Woohoo!!! Thanks!

Of course, no circuits were tripped or fuses blown, so does that mean I fried it?

not necessarily. i'm going to assume u shut the breaker off to the microwave and reset it. sometimes "trip" is so close to "on" the breaker could appear to be set.
next, i would try running an extension from another outlet just to see if it comes on. if it doesn't, there is a fuse inside the microwave. u will have to take it out of its case to find and it is probably ceramic.
lets hope it is a breaker not set.

Thanks Jim, especially for assuming I turned the breaker off and on - I honestly mean it. I did not, so will try that, and your other suggestions if necessary.
Really grateful for all the help.
