Great info! Thank you so much. I was thinking of removing our microwave, but now I'm rethinking that. Can you bake/roast/grill in metal pans or stoneware or do you have to use something like silicone?
I use a metal pizza pan normally in the oven when on convection or grill mode. If you want to combo with the microwave, make sure your pan/cookware is microwave safe. You can leave the rack in on any mode. Make sure any metal pan avoids touching the sides of the microwave. All the best!
John, thanks so much for this very informative video. When you are grilling, is it okay to use the grilling rack that came with the High Pointe convection oven/microwave?
Oh my gosh thank you!! So much information wow. The dang booklet didn’t explain it as well as you did, I feel like a pro now and I haven’t even used mine yet! 🎉
I have this same oven, and i know how to use it. I've enjoyed it immensely. However, after watching your video just now, I must say, you have covered this oven exceptionally well. You've clearly explained every feature that it offers. This is very helpful for those who have had a time with the learning curve. I like this appliance so much that I've decided to buy one for my home as well. Thanks for the great video!
What a great tutorial, John! The wife and I just bought a used R-Pod 180 with one of these ovens and this will save us a ton of time in discovery! Really like the channel too, thanks!
After one year of TRYING to figure out my combo, I now understand how to cook using convection/toast/roast!! You are very concise! Excellent. Thanks, leaving tomorrow for Arkansas State Park. We will see if I learned how to make magic.
I'm dying. My husband and I have tested our marriage over this *bleeping* microwave. We bought a travel smoker to supplement our cooking - but I felt we should hv been able to cook at least popcorn. Our minds are blown after watching this video. I guess we can give our microwave another chance.
Thank you! This is a great video which has taken the mystery out of the appliance that I've only used as a microwave to this point. Look forward to being able to actually cook with it!
Excellent Video! Best one I've seen so far about using the oven & all of its features. I had no idea it did so many practical things - including making toast? Who knew!? Thank you!
Thank you SO much for this! We've had this model in our Class C and for the 2 years we've owned it I couldn't figure out how to do much more than heat chili. The convection oven part of it scared me. This was immensely helpful and now I feel like I can actually use it.
John, I watch a lot of video on all kinds of topics, your's is by far the best presentation I seen, very easy to understand! I am cooking a piece of frozen Apple Pie now. Today. I am attending a PleasureWay RV Rally in Sarasota and they are holding a seminar on Microwave cooking. They should have show your video instead. I am Book Marking this video right now! Thanks Pat
Awesome video! I just pulled out our air fryer again and my husband said you need to learn how to use the new microwave! just made toast!! So here I am, following you!
I've only had my new-to-me Class B for a couple of months and the microwave has been the last thing on my mind. Though, when our home power was out I was able to figure out the popcorn feature. But now with your video, I'm pumped. I have the High Point Convection Microwave in my van and your video is incredibly helpful. I'll need to watch it about ten more times before I get courage to actually cook something. Thanks so much. I've subscribed!
Glad to hear this helped. It was a mystery to me as well and I figured others would be in the same boat. It took a bunch of research to get that video together, but we have had great feedback from it.
GREAT Video! our goal was to use all the functions this weekend during camping. so far this weekend have baked a cake and made a hashbrown casserole. when we couldn't remember how to set a particular function we just pulled up the video again.
HEHE, I got two? The first one my husband ordered (for my birthday present) the door broke, so they sent us another and told us to keep the broken one! My clever husband fixed it and now I have two!! Going to practice all winter! Just made toast, LOL
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for checking out the comments. I think I've spoken to most of the issues over the past year or so. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@JohnMarucci Thanks. Made porkchops in it then did garlic Texas toast too. Both came out perfect. I couldn't figure out how to use the timer, you solved that. Piece of cake, now I just need to get some cookware. Plan on using it for so much more now.
I wish I could "like" this video a thousand times! You did a great job. Succinct and knowledgeable. I'm no longer afraid to use my convection microwave oven. Thanks for the help!
Great video. The only thing I would note and the reason I watched this was I was trying to figure out why it kept saying food when I selected 350 on the convection cycle. This oven will only go numbers 1-6 or up to 325 on a regular convection cycle. The food mean you have to select a food button which uses a combo of cooking methods as you so eliquently explained. This little microwave has A LOT of features for a small footprint and you did a fantastic job of explaining them. You have a new follower in us for sure.
Well, since the manual doesn't cover much except microwave safety, it wouldn't have helped you much if you did have it. John, thanks, you answered some of my questions. I still can't figure out what pan to use for the Roast Chicken setting. Pyrex and other high temp glass is ok for normal baking and for microwave. Metal is fine for grilling or baking. But nothing works for both microwave and grilling, that I know of. And I want my chicken in a dish so it will roast moist, in it's marinade.
John, this is great- I had no idea how to use ours beyond microwave, and we bought our rig new 2 years ago. I was determined to figure out how to use more features so we have more options.
What is the purpose for lockout? Very complicated for someone who spends little time in the kitchen. As usual, a great tutorial, and I will be practicing on a pizza tomorrow! Thanks John!
Richard, I think the lockout may be to keep kids from accidentally starting the unit. I use a 12" diameter Mainstays Nonstick Pizza Pan (Walmart) to cook pizza on. I really like the Costco - Milton's Craft Bakers - Thin & Crispy Cauliflower crust roasted vegetable pizza (any 12" or less diameter pizza of your liking will do). I can keep the pizza well frozen in the Edgestar portable freezer I travel with (see video). Usually, I preheat the convection oven on 400 until is heats fully, then use the pan on the rack and let it cook for 15 minutes or so. You will have to take a look to check if it's done as much as you like and change heat/time accordingly. Hope this helps!
Rachel, the metal rack can be used in the microwave. I usually use it for grilling and convection oven use, but it can be used in microwave mode. The roast chicken function for example, uses all three modes and one must use the metal rack as the mode changes to convection and grill. Thanks for the question!
Thank you John you really did a great job explaining all that. I am looking forward to using this appliance more. you made it super easy to understand.
Lucky me!! Your video is of my exact model; your video has taken away my fears. Thanks John! Can you show me your interior racks? My used camper is missing these, “must have” parts. I need to order some; but have limited info.
When using convection and or grill feature, can you use metal pans? I’ve seen this in other units. I know I can’t use metal in microwave setting. Thank you for taking the time to explain this nifty appliances. Well done!❤
I wonder if you can advise me on an issue. I have the Rpod 189 , with the Thule crown awning . It will not open and the hand crank doesn't seem to have the T bolt to open it by hand. is there something I am doing wrong? it fit but is lose . thank you
What pans can I use when using microwave and convection? I have the round metal rack and have used that for convection...can it also be used in microwave function?
Jennifer, I have included the link below for the High Pointe Convection/Microwave Oven owners manual for the model that I have in my 2017 R-Pod 179 and that was used for this video. Page 7 of the manual provides a list of all the items that can be used in the microwave oven. Hope this helps.www.collinssupport.com/manuals/EC028KD7.pdf
@@terrismith6721 This is a PERFECT question. If you have done further research, were you able to get an answer to your question? It appears this may be the most elusive part of the manual ~ not knowing whether one can SAFELY use the grill rack, and/or pizza pan, when in combo mode (i.e. grilling on G2 or G3 when the microwave automatically starts working).
Hey John. Thank you so much for this valuable information! I’m like everyone else. Maybe some basic micro features being used up until this point. But now I’m ready to rock and roll thanks to your thoroughness. Have you baked cookies? I’m thinking preheat the convection, then just do them as usual. Every oven has either a little more or little less power. I’m sure I’ll get it dialed. It’d also be nice to do a pizza on a stone! Have you done that one?
I’ve only baked pizzas on a metal pan on the revolving rack. Cookies should be fairly simple as you mentioned. Not sure how a pizza stone would work but it may be worth experimenting. All the best!
This video was very helpful in understanding the functions and features of the buttons. We have had our motorhome for 2 years and it did not come with a manual. My question would be, are there any special what trays or baking racks are needed to cook using the convection, grilling or roasting function. My motorhome was brand new and only came with the clear microwave turntable and nothing else. When we ask the dealer they are clueless. Thank you for any guidance regarding accessories.
Sorry to hear that yours did not come with the rack with rubber feet. You may be able to procure one from the company (HighPointe). I have found that you can use most pans in the oven on the rack as long as metal does not touch the sides of the oven when it rotates. I found this on eTrailer but be sure that it will match your model before purchasing: www.etrailer.com/question-625365.html
Thank you so much. This microwave is so different than ours at home. We have a Travato and plan to cook many meals. Now if you could just tell us the best things to cook and let us watch the results that would be great!
John what a really good video. I have not figured out how to use microwave until this video. John what are you using to keep your microwave clean. I see that every time you touch the microwave with your finger there are no finger marks. Every time I touch my microwave I leave finger prints. Thank you John.
Thanks for the comment, I am glad the video was helpful. I use a damp micro-fiber towel to wipe down the unit. It does regularly get finger prints! All the best.
@@JohnMarucci Thanks John for your reply. I will try that. It seems I use mine a lot and at the end of t the night I need to wipe the microwave down more.
Hi John Great Video! just got a new Travel trailer last week. Your video is very helpful. Just a quick question. My plate does not turn smoothly. Kind of jerky. I checked the insert in the middle and both it and the plastic ring are in correct alignment. is this unusual? my home microwave turns smoothly
I want your pizza pan you speak of...is it glass or metal? What size is it? Does it sit on top of the rack or inside the circle. I want to be prepared to use next trip. Thank you so much for the great instructions!!!
Jeanne, we tried the inexpensive Walmart metal pizza pan and it proved too big. The one we then tried is the Mainstays 12” pizza pan from Walmart and it has worked well. We always bake with the pan on top of the rack so it rotates in convection oven mode. Here is a link to my Instagram explaining it: instagram.com/p/B4N5TjWhfRg/?igshid=1f9xk102u8pfj
Does that also work with the combo cooking you speak of? Certainly appreciate you sharing this! I’ve never used the oven yet...now I can’t wait to try...thank you!!
I only use the Mainstays 12” non-stick pizza pan when using either convection or broil function or a combo of both, but never when using the microwave. Hope this helps.
Another question. Our unit started randomly running, making a fan sound but not the exhaust fan. I took off the filters and the one on the right side had warm air behind it. Not sure what is running. This started happening after using the convection function. I hit the microwave button and stop/cancel button. Any ideas. Could not find any info in the manual.
Dear John, I really appreciated this video. On this high pointe convection oven, if you are using the convection mode and not the microwave can you use a metal baking sheet? Many thanks in advance
Excellent education on the features. However I was interested in what types of cooking materials should be used when "convecting" and if the plastic ring should be removed or is it safe to keep installed while using the oven /grill?
I can’t speak to it as I always used the rack when baking. I think the convection oven needs to circulate the heat around the item to work best. I would search for a replacement rack online and by asking on the R-Pod Owners forum: rpod-owners.com
My Nobo High Point oven won't turn on when plugged in to 30 amp. Strange thing is when we lift the oven door up slightly the oven turns on and off like there is a short? Not sure what to even look for. The breaker/fuse is good and as I stated it will turn on/off briefly. . Do I need to pull the oven out and look at wiring? It is only a year old and only used a handful of times and all other times when I plugged the trailer in it came on.
That is a bit strange. You can try to pull it out and take a look, just be careful that it may be heavy to deal with. Also, at a year old the manufacturer warranty may be two+ years, so if it is defective, you should pursue a replacement. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this informativevideo. Will you show grilling / roasting / baking a dish and using the metal rack included with the unit? In addition the type of dishes you use for the convection oven?
The video only covers how to operate the unit, and unfortunately, I do not plan to show cooking specific dishes with the oven. I have primarily baked pizza in the oven using a 9" round pizza pan on the metal rack using convection mode. This works well. You can use the convection oven just like at home and cook pretty much anything that an oven at home will cook, you just need to keep the dish small enough to rotate in the small space. Thanks!
I had to replace a faulty Convection/Microware in my 2014 RPOD 179. I found that the Farberware Gourmet FMO10AHSBKA 1.0 Cubic Foot 1000 Watt Microwave Oven, from Amazon.ca, is a perfect match and I could use the original vented surround kit.
Great info! Thank you so much. I was thinking of removing our microwave, but now I'm rethinking that. Can you bake/roast/grill in metal pans or stoneware or do you have to use something like silicone?
I use a metal pizza pan normally in the oven when on convection or grill mode. If you want to combo with the microwave, make sure your pan/cookware is microwave safe. You can leave the rack in on any mode. Make sure any metal pan avoids touching the sides of the microwave. All the best!
I keep having to rewatch this everytime I want to do something new with my Highpoint Convection Microwave Oven.
Glad the video is a good resource. It isn't the easiest oven to use for sure. All the best!
It took me about six months to figure out how my convection oven worked. It was comical. Thanks for the video!
It took me a while as well. I have to think most people have little idea about the advanced features, which come in very handy. All the best!
John, thanks so much for this very informative video. When you are grilling, is it okay to use the grilling rack that came with the High Pointe convection oven/microwave?
It’s ridiculous how you need a training video to figure out how to use this oven/microwave. Thanks for posting!

I found this on eTrailer but be sure that it will match your model before purchasing: www.etrailer.com/question-625365.html

Very informative thank you! Do I need to use the rack for grilling toast ? Or can it be done without?
I would use the rack, not sure you’d get a good result otherwise. Thanks!
Thanks trying to learn our new one.

Thank you so much. This microwave is so different than ours at home. We have a Travato and plan to cook many meals. Now if you could just tell us the best things to cook and let us watch the results that would be great!
Glad the video was helpful!
Awesome video well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
John what a really good video. I have not figured out how to use microwave until this video. John what are you using to keep your microwave clean. I see that every time you touch the microwave with your finger there are no finger marks. Every time I touch my microwave I leave finger prints. Thank you John.
Thanks for the comment, I am glad the video was helpful. I use a damp micro-fiber towel to wipe down the unit. It does regularly get finger prints! All the best.
@@JohnMarucci Thanks John for your reply. I will try that. It seems I use mine a lot and at the end of t the night I need to wipe the microwave down more.
Hi John Great Video! just got a new Travel trailer last week. Your video is very helpful. Just a quick question. My plate does not turn smoothly. Kind of jerky. I checked the insert in the middle and both it and the plastic ring are in correct alignment. is this unusual? my home microwave turns smoothly
Mine also was a bit jerky in motion but worked fine. It may be the nature of the unit.
Thank you, Great video!!
Glad it was helpful!
I want your pizza pan you speak of...is it glass or metal? What size is it? Does it sit on top of the rack or inside the circle. I want to be prepared to use next trip.
Thank you so much for the great instructions!!!
Jeanne, we tried the inexpensive Walmart metal pizza pan and it proved too big. The one we then tried is the Mainstays 12” pizza pan from Walmart and it has worked well. We always bake with the pan on top of the rack so it rotates in convection oven mode. Here is a link to my Instagram explaining it: instagram.com/p/B4N5TjWhfRg/?igshid=1f9xk102u8pfj
Does that also work with the combo cooking you speak of?
Certainly appreciate you sharing this! I’ve never used the oven yet...now I can’t wait to try...thank you!!
I only use the Mainstays 12” non-stick pizza pan when using either convection or broil function or a combo of both, but never when using the microwave. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the great video. Is it safe to leave the glass plate in the oven while on convection or grill? Thanks☀️
Yes, the glass plate that comes with the oven is safe to leave in the oven. Thanks!
John have you come across a cookbook that used all these features?
I have not seen a cookbook for this convection microwave. If you come across one, please let me know. Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!! I have ben wanting to change my microwave to Convention
Glad the video was helpful!
Great tutorial
Glad it was helpful!
Another question. Our unit started randomly running, making a fan sound but not the exhaust fan. I took off the filters and the one on the right side had warm air behind it. Not sure what is running. This started happening after using the convection function. I hit the microwave button and stop/cancel button. Any ideas. Could not find any info in the manual.
Not sure what is going on, sounds like it may need a service call if it is randomly running. You may want to contact your dealer.
Dear John, I really appreciated this video. On this high pointe convection oven, if you are using the convection mode and not the microwave can you use a metal baking sheet? Many thanks in advance
Yes, we used a metal pizza pan in convection mode. Just make sure the pan is small enough not to scrape the inside when rotating. Thanks!
Excellent education on the features. However I was interested in what types of cooking materials should be used when "convecting" and if the plastic ring should be removed or is it safe to keep installed while using the oven /grill?
Susan, the plastic ring, glass tray and metal rack all can remain in with all settings. Glad the video was helpful!
Ok glad to hear I could leave it in,but the first time it smelled like burning plastic so I removed it all because I thought I was going to ruin it!
@@lavonnadouglas1353 I removed glass and plastic and put an aluminum foil in it and the door glass broke after preheat at 325. ☹️
Dear , ther is one plate on right side do we need to remove it from there ?
Can you send a picture of what you are talking about? My email is: john@johnmarucci.com
Do you have to use the rack when baking? I dont have one and just wondering if its possible to cook without the rack.
I can’t speak to it as I always used the rack when baking. I think the convection oven needs to circulate the heat around the item to work best. I would search for a replacement rack online and by asking on the R-Pod Owners forum: rpod-owners.com
My Nobo High Point oven won't turn on when plugged in to 30 amp. Strange thing is when we lift the oven door up slightly the oven turns on and off like there is a short? Not sure what to even look for. The breaker/fuse is good and as I stated it will turn on/off briefly. . Do I need to pull the oven out and look at wiring? It is only a year old and only used a handful of times and all other times when I plugged the trailer in it came on.
That is a bit strange. You can try to pull it out and take a look, just be careful that it may be heavy to deal with. Also, at a year old the manufacturer warranty may be two+ years, so if it is defective, you should pursue a replacement. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this informativevideo. Will you show grilling / roasting / baking a dish and using the metal rack included with the unit? In addition the type of dishes you use for the convection oven?
The video only covers how to operate the unit, and unfortunately, I do not plan to show cooking specific dishes with the oven. I have primarily baked pizza in the oven using a 9" round pizza pan on the metal rack using convection mode. This works well. You can use the convection oven just like at home and cook pretty much anything that an oven at home will cook, you just need to keep the dish small enough to rotate in the small space. Thanks!
How is the rack used? My provided rack has long legs one way and short legs on the other side of the grill/rack
I leave mine in the unit, as long as the rubber feet are on the rack and the metal doesn't touch the sides when it rotates.
Very helpful video! Thanks!
Glad the video was helpful!
I had to replace a faulty Convection/Microware in my 2014 RPOD 179. I found that the Farberware Gourmet FMO10AHSBKA 1.0 Cubic Foot 1000 Watt Microwave Oven, from Amazon.ca, is a perfect match and I could use the original vented surround kit.
Thanks for the info!
