upper cabinets: weight limit?

[debbiej]

I've been organizing our new to us T139. over my stove and sink the cabinets are deeper than the ones over the fridge and closet. the camper had a microwave in the cabinet over the stove, but not installed. we took it out, I don't use one when camping, and didn't like the idea of it bouncing around up there. I suppose since a microwave was up there, the cabinets are pretty strong, but I just wondered if there is a weight limit on the upper cabinets?
the upper bunk says nothing over 220# but nothing anywhere on the upper cabinets.

We still have a microwave in there -- we use it for vegetables when we are in RV parks on the road. (I would get rid of it, but my wife loves steamed veggies with dinner.) I secured it in place with plumber's pipe straps, the same stuff we use for earthquake safety.

And we travel on VERY rough dirt roads (slowly), so there is a lot of stress in that cabinet.

Bottom line -- unless you put a rock collection in that space, you should be just fine!!

good to know! thanks! I've been in the habit of putting heavy things lowest, but there aren't that many storage spaces on the floor. the well designed plumbing that's so easily accessible is in there. (yes, I'm still impressed with the nice design of the little camper)
