- BumpyroadExplorerI haven't done it but when I ordered my Chieftain I ordered it with a convection oven and storage drawer where the gas oven would go. we previously had two motorhomes with the oven and it was only used for storage, noisy, small space wasting storage.
bumpy - the_bear_IIExplorerWe still have our oven and use it once in awhile. Most of the time we use a countertop Convection Oven. It works great.
- pugslyyyExplorerWe have a micro/convection in place of where the oven would be.

Can you please send pictures and explain what it took to do the exchange.
Thanks - LarryJMExplorer II

Ditto, and I would recommend just leaving the LP oven there and using it for storage since it could be a real issue if and when you sell your trailer.
Larry - Queens_CarriageExplorerIf you boondock a lot I would think that a lp oven would be more useful. If you stay in RV parks it wouldn't matter. Just sayin
- pugslyyyExplorerWe boondock but really don't miss the lp oven - and it is nice to have the microwave for vegetables, etc at dinner time. We have a nice built in grill on a slide-out and cook on it most of the time to keep the odors/humidity outside.
- doxiemom11Explorer III don't have an oven, had never used a convection oven before we moved into our RV. I love it and have no desire for a regular oven. I do a lot of cooking as we seldom go out to eat.
- stubblejumperExplorerOurs came with Micro/Convection over the stove. We use both and wouldn't change. Veggies, cereal etc by micro, roasts and cakes etc in convection. Convection also cooks much faster than conventional oven, so can stop in the afternoon and have roast for supper. Usually cook outdoors but on those cold rainy days you got to love it.

another good point, the micro/conv will heat up a small RV much slower than running your LP oven for a longer period of time.
