Microwave cutting out

Our microwave often cuts out when in caravan parks, but never at home. Has anyone else had similar problems? It's a Sphere. It will run for 2 to 20 seconds, and then shut down as though the power was switched off (and yes, I did check - no circuit breakers tripped and all other appliances continued to work).

I'm wandering if it's caused by caravan parks having insufficient power to the sites to cater for the Christmas holiday period???? It seemed to happen more if we also had the AC running, but often the microwave was the only thing being used. We have a fairly new 13A power lead...

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Suggest you check the wiring to the gpo(s) to ensure there's not a loose connection. The problem connection may not be the gpo that the microwave is plugged into, so happy hunting.
