OK

so my Dad bought a "new" trailer
for camping. it has a Microwave in it.
I asked Dad. "does it work?"
Dads answer "Well the guy turned it on for a few seconds
the light lit and the bell dinged.
for a test. I was thinking of taking a bag of
microwave popcorn and seeing how long it takes
to pop..
any other ideas?

Put a cup of water in a glass.....see how long it takes it to boil. That will let you know if it works and how strong it is....

a friend of mine was just talking about the micro in her trailer. We had alot of storm power outages and she has a generator for her trailer so they stayed in it for the night. She said popcorn takes much longer in that microwave.

Yep, that works. Of course, then your Dad's microwave will be totally
forked.
