Induction Burner install

Installed a True Induction double burner in our Endura MH recently. DW has had a range in S&B for several years. Also have a single burner in the MH. She loves them.
Upgrade required that counter top be replaced because induction burner is wider than gas range. Also replaced plastic sink with a SS single bowl. Added a little more storage for some small items needed to cook with.
Before.

After.

Storage.

The Induction burner requires a frame work installed under counter made out of 1X2 wood. Manuals supplied by manufacture show how to make these supports.

    We purchased the New Wave advertized on the TV after seeing my buddies in his trailer, we only kave space for one but it is really good, we got the double deal and are using the second one in the house, it is impresive how fast the unit heats the pots and pans and the amount of pressision heat and the best part we do not have condensation.

    Yust make shure that your electric system can handle the load in the RV, other wise you will have hot wires and a possible fire.

    Nice job of the installation.

    Just saw a portable unit for sale on TV.....looks pretty impressive, and if we buy right NOW, they will add a second one free (well, we'd have to pay the shipping:))....I thought it might be nice for the RV too.

    We use a single portable unit. Some SS pans ARE magnetic so use a magnet to make sure.

    I have not done any research on Induction cooking as far as power requirements are concerned.

    Might not fit into any camping off the power grid schemes...

    They also make a single burner. But DW wanted 2 burners. We started with a Max Burton portable burner. Before deciding to replace S&B range. They are less that $75 and cook great. You will need at least 15 amps to run the burner. We will use our generator to run the burner when not hooked to shore power.

    Ron, we will be changing out from a two burner electric to the same induction top you used. Our reasons are CATS, our cats sometimes jump up on the counters after we cook, to prevent them from getting burned we thought the induction top would be a good idea...

    There is still heat on the burner surface after cooking. But nowhere the amount from a electric or gas burner. Heat is from pan that was setting on burner.

    Cast iron pans work on a induction burner. But they better be flat or the glass top could be scratched. DW gave all our older pots and pans that did not have a magnetic bottom to our granddaughter. Purchased some new pans from IKEA. Others came off Amazon. We like cooking with induction. Heat is controlled and even. Only bottom of pan is heated. Not the burner or flame around bottom of pan.
