Microwave/oven combination

For folks that don't have a propane stove and want to still bake small items in the middle of nowhere without having to use the generator this Coleman oven might do the job for you. You can use it either on the stove top inside the coach or use it on an outside grill. I would imagine a person could use it on a gas BBQ also.

A little smaller than a propane oven but you don't use up the space below the cooktop either. You still end up with the drawers and have a small oven.

I have one of those but have never attempted to bake with it. It's barely good enough for warming. Camp Chef makes a portable oven that works pretty well. Not sure about cooking a pizza in it but we've done other things in it.

Pizza is pretty easy with cast iron on a stove or campfire. No oven needed unless you buy frozen...

Not here you don't ... probably your cell phone has no bars and the PIZZA-MAN's iPhone/GPS would get lost, too.

Then's when we keep the generator off so as to not scare the coyotes, pull out the frozen pizza, fire up the genuine propane oven, and munch the cheeze along with a great view - camping (or any other) life doesn't get any better than that ;) :

My MH has a convection/microwave combo and while it bakes nicely, I would prefer a gas oven. I can run the microwave for short periods but can't run both the convection and either the A/C or small electric space heater without tripping the breaker. So unless the outside temp is nice enough to not run either, I don't bake. It definitely limits the types of meals I cook when traveling in places/times requiring some artificial climate control.

We too, prefer the gas oven. Our cast iron skillet and griddle stow there and when camped, wife loves to do her baking of desserts in the oven. Me, I'm a dutch oven cast ironman and that means outside on the fire. To us, a gas oven is multi-tasker: it's storage and broiling/baking appliance as well. I wouldn't even consider putting my cast iron in the convection.

To each their own: for those who do little baking and cooking on the road, I can see where the convection microwave oven combo would be more practical. For those of us who do more traditional cooking and gatherings, the gas stove and oven works.

That all said, it isn't a big enough deal to pay the extra money to have it replaced. The 1-800-PIZZA-MAN is my go-to choice.

The trouble is .... how do you camp in parks in drycamping spots and still bake a pizza outside generator hours .... unless you have a huge battery bank and inverter in your rig?

IMHO, a convection oven is great if you also along with it have a propane oven - for best RV'ing flexibility.

You will learn to like it. We have had several mh's wih oven and have never turned them on. Use them for bread boxes.

DW liked our mw/convection in the MH so much that when we needed a new mw in the S&B house, she got a mw/convection.
