Microwave oven location in caravans

One of our complaints about our caravan is the high location of the microwave. My OH is only five feet tall, to use the microwave she has to stand on a step, which I often fall over.

Watching the Bailey promotion all video for their 2016 range, they say they've lowered the microwave. On looking at this, it appears to only be by 1 or 2 inches - and they've now located it directly over the cooker on some models, where we would boil a kettle
which creates steam. It does't take a genius to be aware that steam and electricity are not a safe combination.

Do the designers of caravans actually use them and have they any common?
