House type microwaves, such as those used in our Newell's are designed with 15 amp plugs (Parallel blades) designed to run on a 15 amp circuit if my mind serves correctly.

Some industrial types may need 20 amp, but house units are designed for 15 amp outlets.

That said.... If the batteries are low in the RV or if you have other loads active (IE: Fridge, Water heater, AC) you may trip the breaker. No damage, just no power.
