Installing an oven into a former rental rv

Hi All,
I am considering a former rental RV. I have found that the El Monte RV models are out of my price range. The Cruise America models will work. However, none of them have an oven. I am guessing the space for the microwave is too small to install a convection oven.

So, here's the question: have any of you installed a regular oven in the space below the cooktop. No oven is nearly a deal breaker for me.

Thanks for your responses.

Million dollar question: What do you consider to be a "regular oven."

Generally, the Magic Chef style cook top/oven combos are propane powered. Does the RV you are considering have a propane tank, or, is it all electric? (Cruise America saves money that way) If it's all electric, most likely, it doesn't have a range top vent, and plumbing for propane where you'll need it. Range top/oven vents are required if you cook with propane. (carbon monoxide/dioxide source) With an electric oven, you may need to upgrade your electrical system. Either way, based on what you want to do, you should be clear on what's required before you buy.
