Anyone convert a TT to all electric?

I've never heard of this being done.

I read your other post where you're worried about when off-gassing would stop. If you're sensitive to open gas flames, there are a lot of trailers where off-gassing seems to never stop!!

You might want to consider a "greener" trailer like a Lance because of the lack of any kind of unpleasant odors.

The best cooker we have is one of those large electric skillets with a lid... yum yum...



I do good with all things propane except the propane fired gas heater. It does bother me pretty good. Fortunately we don't use ours every much. Always use oil-filled portable electric heaters and plug into the camp ground 20AMP service for those.

The COLEMAN Grille is fired by the propane 1lb canisters which doesn't bother me at all. I've never really thought about the gas stove burner bothering me...

Really??!! Lance does not have any odors?? Wow! Thanks!! Will check them out! I am so glad that I posted these questions here!!

Yep, Lance has no appreciable odors compared to other brands. I've never been in any other brand that is the same as a Lance as far as odor goes. Or lack thereof!

They're made in California, under very green standards and the AQMD (Air Quality Management District) standards.

Thanks, Woodglue! I went to their website and placed a call for more info, but had to leave a message.

I googled "green TTs" and Jacyco was mentioned as well. I called them and they said that they stopped being "green" but their website still says that they are. Confusing.

Thanks, Roy! That is another idea! I was also going to do a lot of crock-pot cooking! Does the water heater in the TT not bother you?

Many water heaters work on either gas or electric. FWIW, I only run mine long enough to shower in the morning. About 20 minutes total. In typical summer weather you'll have warm water for hand washing for the rest of the day.

Only the oven/cooktop? As nothing else uses combustion air or exhausts gas directly into the RV. This can be replaced by a electric skillet or hot plate and small electric oven.

Just curious, do you run the exhaust fan when cooking? With a flame going you have several things going on; 1)You are in a confined space, 2)the fire itself is using the oxygen 3)The by-product of fire is CO2 (and other products)
You may want to check with a local gas company and see if they will test the air while the stove is on. If not, a local fire dept will do it. They love the opportunity to play with their toys. CO2 CAN make you feel ill at certain levels. It can also kill.

Both the water heater and the furnace vent the fumes from combustion to the outside of the trailer. So unless you are near the exhaust ports of these you should not smell them.
