Remember that to power a convection oven will require hookups or the running of a generator whenever you want to use if for anything.
Many folks - who otherwise have solar on their RV for most electical needs when drycamping - mention that when camping without hookups they need to run their generator only for a few short periods to run their microwave ovens to warm up food - while using their (quiet) propane ovens for baking.

What this means is that a microwave oven plus a propane gas oven offer a more versatile combination in case you might want to occasionally drycamp around others and/or outside generator hours for, say, evening pizza!
