Apollo 1/2 time oven

Today, I went out to check on a couple of thing in the 3500RL. It's been plugged into shore power for about a week here behind the stick house.
I opened the curb side storage door and turned on the battery disconnect, then immediately went around and opened the door and could hear something running, which turned out to be the microwave. I don't know how long it had been running, and I know turning on the battery should not have caused it to start.
I remember the Samsung in our previous 5er had a recall for a circuit card that could start by itself.
Anyone heard of or had a similar problem with the 1/2 time Apollo?
I'm kinda scared of it now, because if it starts up by itself while were away, we may come back to a pile of ashes!

Maybe it should be unplugged or turn the breaker off when going away.
Never had that happen to us.

The oven runs on 110v so I wouldn't think turning on 12v would cause that. Were you connected to shore power continuously? Could the oven have been running awhile? This is strange. Plus, if the MW started on its own with that metal tray inside it would damage the oven. Not good.

The Montana had been on shore power for about a week. We were in it last weekend, and I forgot to flip the breaker off in the shop when we were done. It stays plugged up all time while at home, but with breaker normally off. I agree, turning on battery should not have triggered anything. Since the power was on for a week, I don't know how long it was running, if it was just the fan, just microwave or just convection. My luck is it is fried, and the Montana turns 2 years old this week, so no warranty.
Has anyone found a microwave that is a pretty much direct replacement that works good. We have never used the convection part, so will probably just replace with microwave. We had a Samsung in the Four Winds, and it was a great microwave, and was the quietest I've ever seen.
