We're about to take our first camping trip in our new to us pop-up camper. The stove was taken out by the previous owner, so we will be using a single burner table top propane stove.
I'd agree with those recommending against cooking inside a popup, other than perhaps making coffee, toast, etc. Any real cooking I've done while camping has been outside under the awning and with our Weber Q grill parked on the campsite table away from the camper. Recently I bought a 10' x 10' straight wall canopy at WalMart for $88 Cdn and DIY'd some inexpensive tarp walls so I can enclose it when it's raining and/or really cold. I'll still park our grill out in the open away from the camper but set up a small table within the canopy to use as a cooking station, protected from the weather. Throw a small heater in there and it's amazing how comfortable it can be. Here's a couple of pics with it set up on our deck here at the house.
