Hi,I'm working on a Truck Camper build and am considering an induction cooktop. I've been extremely happy w my home induction cooktop so naturally I'm very open to having one in the TC. There are tremedous advantages for an RV if the unit functions well. I do have a 110v induction hotplate and it has some deficiencies. I'm wondering if the RV induction cooktops would be more like the home units or the hotplate.Thanks - Paul

To get the full benefit of an induction cooktop, you need 240v. I, like you, have both. The plug-in 110v has no where near the power as the home unit. But, I do like the fact we are not using propane. We are using the power we pay for when we have an electric site.

Hi,I've been using a NuWave induction single burner in the RV for a long time. It is much superior to a hotplate. I've recently added a 2nd one. I find the NuWave to be just as fast as my built in stove top induction in my Condo. The NuWave has steps of 5 f which is much nicer than the stove top with ten settings.I did add a 2nd power outlet on a different circuit to the kitchen.

NuWave induction burner too, DW loves it (not as much as the instantpot). She can use it indoors and out.

Thanks guys.Is it this one from Amazon?https://www.amazon.com/NuWave-30153-Precision-Induction-Cooktop/dp/B00915Z27G

Are you mostly at campsites with power?If yes and you like induction cooktops, it can be a good option.If you need to crank up the generator, I would prefer propane.I prefer propane anyway for the instant adjustment.

I run the NuWave on my pure sine wave inverter. No propane for cooking in the last 5 years.

Then you need a fairly robust solar/battery system to feed it. The OP didn't mention a large solar/battery bank system.

400 watt solar, 2000w inverter/charger, 2 100 Ah LiPo batts, Honda 2200 gen backup.....travel would be mostly central Idaho in late April through November, skipping the July, August, and September peak camping seasons.
