Oven removal

DW has never liked the oven in our '96 adventurer so it's been used primarily as chip storage. She wants it removed and build in a better cabinet for storage. The plan is to take out the oven and counter top, build a new cabinet to replace the oven and build a new counter top over everything. For the stove top she wants to use a PIC (personal induction cooker). The PIC will be stowed away and brought out when needed. Has anyone done this and is there any surprises I need to watch out for? Any idea how difficult it will be to cap off the gas line?
Thanks in advance.

    In my case I doubt that resell is much of a consideration. This is a '96 with over 105K so I think the resell window on it is closing.

    I've got to disagree with OldB. If you do a good job and make it look professional I'm not sure it would effect resale. I HATE the pos range in my Springdale. The oven is useless. I just bought a PIC and have been playing with it. I am considering something like you want to do with these changes: pull crappy M/W out and replace with decent convection combo. Yank stove out and build recessed box to hold 2 or more PICs with cabinet underneight. Admittedly I keep my TT in parks that have good and plenty power.

    Disconnect propane line and use a 'gas' plug with 'gas' tape (yellow teflon) on threads to cap the line.

    Plan on much lowered resale value and limited interested individuals when selling the RV.
