Not the case on our previous Montana (2007). They used a 23" wide countertop type convection oven that fit in the same enclosed cabinet as the older microwaves. The hood underneath was the same old RV 12V model. Because there was no exterior vent for the convection oven, it had to be special built for the RV with its own piggyback fan on the back and ductwork that drew air from the bottom and pushed it out the top through the grill work in the trim. It was a Chinese Apollo that only lasted a few days for us. It was the only option for replacement without some significant modifications. We ended up just replacing it with a standard microwave.
