Thanks for the reply and the link. Wish mine was that easy. There are no bolts/screws comming down through cabinet into the top of the unit. (all of the units I've installed/removed in houses have had them but not the one in my 5th wheel) There is no false bottom in the cabinet to conceal them either. I can stick my finger down the power supply hole in the cabinet and feel the top of the microwave. There's maybe a one inch gap between the bottom of the cabinet and the top of the microwave.
The schematic shows an L shaped bracket mounted to the wall and two slot headed "mounting rods" going from front to back into the vertical leg of the bracket. I've unscrewed the mounting rods but the unit won't budge.
I've got to take the unit I bought back to Camping World anyway since they gave me a countertop unit instead of the over the range model.
