Crusader Microwave Broken & Replaced
The High Pointe microwave in our 2014 Crusader stopped working. The touch panel only had a few buttons that still operated. It all started a few weeks ago with it beeping when not even using it and the screen showing numbers as if it was on defrost. Then progressively got worse everyday. We had trouble finding an all black replacement that would fit the dimensions. Found this black & stainless WestBend at Walmart for $59. It's the exact same specs. as the High Pointe. Installation took about 10 mins. Doesn't look horribly bad but I do wish it was all black to match.

broken microwave
We have a Tracer 230FBS and after driving on very rough road, our High Point micro wave also started acting like your description. I found a replacement on line for $100. plus shipping. Their description was very clear that this model was designed for "rough" RV use. I wonder if this is a promotion gimmick or will one from Walmart take the abuse as well.....just wondering.

The 2 year replacement plan was only $4 at Walmart! You can't beat that! Chances are greater that there will be an issue going through RV use and the temperature changes of the seasons.

Great job, looks very nice. And thanks for sharing. I am not very handy so I like to make mental notes when I see fixes like this.

We also have a Tracer 230FBS, the microwave was replaced twice under warranty....So this time I bought a Magic Chef at Home Depot that fit right in. The Magic Chef is still made in China by the same company that made the internal components of the High Point that came with our unit. It seams that the control panels that are on the High Point are just junk.....well most anything that comes out of China is junk  .
