Full size oven??

Was wondering about a full size oven. WE are thinking about maybe full time RV and the wife bakes State Fair winning cakes and pies I would sure hate to give those up ")
  • You could get a gas "full size" oven/stove and have it converted to run on propane instead.

    Since full size is generally 30", ( you can get a smaller 24" ), you need to have the space. I wonder if one would fit through the rv door.
  • Getting a 'residential' size oven into RV is the biggest problem.

    Modifying the cabinet/counter top is not difficult

    Natural gas ovens can run on LP...just have to change orifice.

    I have seen a lot of park models with a 24" stove installed.
  • Very interested in this too. My wife uses the oven in our stick house all the time, not for baking, but for cooking things like prime rib, leg of lamb, roasting veggies, etc. I have heard that people struggle to get good results from the standard RV ovens. Is that true? Can you get good results from a gas RV oven? With regard to convection, I can't imagine a convection microwave can make a beautiful rare prime rib... Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm struggling to believe it.

    So, has anyone retrofitted a 24" apartment gas range into their RV? If so, I'd like to hear about it - pics would be even better.

    Our retrofit would be into a 5er, and not a park model with big sliding glass doors, so - not entirely sure we can get one through the door. Measuring tape time...
  • why not try using an electric roaster oven, and store away when not needed! my 22 quart one works great for this...
