If a manufacturer puts all electric units out there then that's what the public is gonna buy. I have no oven as we don't normally bake things on the road and the Convection/micro is great for our needs. I have a propane stove and love it and wish I had natural gas at home, but no, dumb me had to go buy a POS induction range and it is slow to heat and slow to cool down, adjusts itself temp wise and is HARD TO KEEP CLEAN.
Another reason you see residential fridges in motorhomes is that it's cheaper for the manufacturer to run the wiring, install a bigger inverter and install the fridge. than having to pipe it for gas,12V and 110 and install the much more expensive 3 way fridge. Then they market it as the latest thing out there along with the induction cooktop.
My warranty people actually asked me if I wanted to change over to a residential fridge last time the cooling coils went out on my side by side, because it was cheaper than replacing the cooling system. The labor was the same,but the replacement fridge was $2500 less.
