LP oven/cook top or convection microwave?

[Wo_ody]

Would you give up your LP oven/cook top for a convection microwave?

I replaced my conv/micro.within the first year I hated that thing..

Notice my clever use of words like, "hash" and "boils" in a cooking related post. 😉

What a half baked response to a question that should be as easy as pie to answer.

No way, we use the cook-top and the oven and have no plans of getting a microwave since that space is used for kitchen storage.

No - since our preferred camping style in boondocking, followed by state/federal campgrounds without hookups. My wife cooks some amazing food when we camp.

Recently a salesman attempted to put us into a camper that was "better" optioned because it had a microwave. I explained that losing storage to an electric appliance we don't use isn't a bonus.

We have an on board generator that fires up any time we need to heat up food in microwave/convection oven and do not miss the LP oven. The stove top is used occasionally to make more complex meals.

If I pay for a campground site, it has electricity at a minimum and my TC will run 100% on electric without using any LPG.

It looks like this thread is explaining why there is more than one configuration. 🙂

Absolutely would dump the stove top and oven for a convection microwave. I have owned 4 motor homes and have yet to use the oven, and can't remember the last time we used to stove top. Never in the current mh. More counter space more storage would be and easy trade.

We have no use for a micro-wave.

We rarely have hookups and would rather not carry a genny too often (except ski camping)...

It really depends on how you will camp...if you don't go where there is electricity...the micro doesn't do much good.
We use ours for storage.

No way, I cook and stay at CG's very seldom. Even with a genset that would not be the way I would go. gensets give to much trouble to rely on electric appliance.

I have propane stove top and a convection oven that is also a microwave. Since we don't bake much, and the microwave is good for other things, I think it is a good tradeoff. I'm not crazy about lp ovens. They seem to be very inconsistent in RVs when I've had them.

Oh heck no. I cook way too many meals that require multiple items cooking at the same time on the burners. I rarely use the microwave for anything other than fast cooking a potato. And in many National parks where there are no hookups and very restricted generator use hours you would be out of luck for a hot meal without a propane range or oven if you mistimed your hike.

Does the convection oven have a grill, fry or broil button? If not the answer is no.
