I was given a rotisserie convection oven that I ended up using more than regular oven in my home. Also used for toasting bread/bagels, etc so had no need for a toaster. I lost it due to house fire.

Now, living in RV full-time I dont see enough room to cook a chicken in the gas stove inside RV.

I am thinking of getting another rotisserie convection oven and primarily use that for most of the cooking I may need to use an oven for. Good to know others have done the same. I am new to the RV life and was hoping it would ne ok as long as I am hooked up with electric.

A friend that lived in his RV most of the summer offered some great advice in using the oven. I had uneven cooking, overcooking, etc. He said to level the rv to the oven. I also learned that I could not use dark pans. I exchanged them all to the light aluminum, now I have perfect, even cooking.

Are your unglazed tiles porcelain or ceramic? Shouldn’t they cover the entire ‘pan’ rather than as in your picture, which would encourage the heat to be intense on the edges of the ‘pan’ where there is no tile?

I enjoy camping outdoors and preparing family members’ favorite meals. Of course, long trips aren’t complete without the RV stove, which you can use to cook everything from fried bacon to fresh bread to fried chicken. I use the Atwood 52232 Wedgewood stove and am very satisfied. With the integrated grill/toast function, you can brown or bake foods such as whole chickens and patties. I like the open burner design because it cooks quickly and evenly. I found the
easy to adjust the hob burner from low to high.
The flame is evenly distributed on all sides in both directions, resulting in well-cooked dishes.
