Removing the stove/oven

I am planning on removing the stove/oven out of my class C camper. I'm already in the process of gutting the entire thing; but I really want to get this stove out. Any suggestions? I've never worked with propane/electrical hook ups and I don't want to screw anything up. Also I'm not planning on replacing it or putting it back. I am not a baker and will not use it so I see no sense in keeping it to take up space.

Any and ALL suggestions would be helpful!

  • Thank you all!!! I actually managed to find the installation manual in the file of things that came with the camper. Due to the amount of work and money that I am going to have to put into this camper I have decided to forgo some of the things that normally go in them.
    My main purpose for this RV was for my daughter and I to sleep at the fair and to go to the campground a few times a year in the summer.
    So I don't plan to replace the stove or put in a stove top. I am going to turn that space into cupboard and counter space. I plan on getting a nice griddle and small grill that can be used under the awning (that is another issue to replace yet). I'm looking at just removing the fridge and filling in the hole in the wall and just getting a regular refrigerator since they are so expensive to buy new or refurbished.

    It will probably look crazy to some people lol but as long as it works for me and the kiddo then I honestly don't care. It sucks being taken advantage of; but I learned a very valuable lesson and I won't ever deal with ******** again lol.

    Any suggestions on the refriderator? That is the next item I would like to get out. I'm still working on the cupboards (got half the screws out of one and the darn thing is still attached to my wall and I have yet to figure out how haha). Thank you all so much for the help!

  • If you're going to install a stovetop in its place (i.e. just the burners for pots and pans), you presumably can use the same propane connection and not have to cap it off. Do be careful not to mutilate the flared end of the propane line in that case so it will seal properly.

    On my stove, at least, the connection to the propane is under the top lid, which opens up kid of like a car hood. My apologies if you already knew that. Once disconnected from the gas supply (which, of course, should be turned off at the tank!), it should be pretty straightforward to unscrew and pull out the range.
  • There is no electrical hookup to the stove, but you will need a cap or plug for the propane line after it's disconnected. If you're also removing a ventilation hood, the 12-volt wires can be cut and taped off.
  • figure out what kind it is and google the manual, there's some screws holding it to the counter top and possibly the cabinet face. The install manual will show where they are.
