Jax, you're still out to lunch on this one buddy.
Noone cares about the propane stove certification installer when you check into the KOA, noone, except maybe you.

The RVIA certification is nothing more than a self-certification: the manufacturer stating that it was built to the appropriate codes. If you build your own RV, you are required to build it to the applicable vehicle and other codes, but there's no requirement in general to have it independently inspected or certified; you may just need to similarly self-certify that you've followed the code.

When you call your insurance company to arrange coverage on your newly purchased Ford or GM truck. Ditto if you buy a new Winnebago, towable or drivable. Why? Because they know that those manufacturers build units that are certified to be in compliance with the appropriate safety requirements. Thereโs no need to ask. On the trucks thereโs a compliance label in the drivers door jamb, on the RVโs, thereโs a (usually) RVIA seal next to the entry door certifying that the unit was built to the appropriate standards.

... If you register with a โ2018 Winnebagoโ they wonโt bat an eye. Try registering to camp there with a โ2018 DIY MagicBusโ and see if they have questions.I don't know where you visit, but I have 20 years and well over 100k miles traveling all over North America and not once did I register in a CG as "2018 Winnebago". 100% of the time is was 32' no slide with 30 amp, or 36' with slide and 50 amp, or now, 24 foot no slide with 30 amp. Not one single CG in the US or CA ever asked the make of my RV or if it had an RVIA sticker.

Jax believes that the entire world revolves around the "greater Toronto" Canada area which has totally over the top stupid laws and rules which require one to pay exorbitant propane gas plumbers to even light a pilot light.
News flash Jax, absolutely no one, no Gov, no Gov agency, no laws care one bit about what Greater Toronto deems as law outside Greater Toronto area.
If you don't like the laws you are under, move or petition your Greater Toronto area to remove such inane, over the top archaic laws. They are not there to protect you or anyone else, they are there to remove money out of your pocket. It is as bad as some cities which prevent you from pumping gasoline into your own car (yes, I live near a big city which at one time back in the 1980s repealed such stupid law)..
Propane or any other gas can be handled without blowing yourself up and with minimal plumbing skills, isn't rocket science and doesn't require one to stay in a "Holiday Inn Express".

Last time I looked, it is still illegal to pump your own gasoline in Oregon and Rhode Island.

Except for the fact that you are planning on using propane for heat, I was going to suggest an alcohol cooktop. They now come as dual fuel units, 120v and alcohol. Popular in boats where nobody wants leaking propane seeping to a bilge where there are ignition sources.

I like the idea of using a 2-burner RV stove and building it in a small tray of sorts on a hose or quick disconnect so i can cook inside or out on this. I have seen some on ebay for $65, so not cheap, but cheap enough
