Hi All,
I am considering a former rental RV. I have found that the El Monte RV models are out of my price range. The Cruise America models will work. However, none of them have an oven. I am guessing the space for the microwave is too small to install a convection oven.
So, here's the question: have any of you installed a regular oven in the space below the cooktop. No oven is nearly a deal breaker for me.
Thanks for your responses.

If you are considering installing a regular oven in your Cruise America RV, I recommend that you take the measurements of the space below the cooktop and bring them with you to a local appliance store. The staff at the appliance store will be able to help you find an oven that is the right size for your RV.

Might want to consider a countertop convection/air fryer/over combo. Then you can take it outside when weather is appropriate to avoid heat and odors in the
RV. FWIW, I pretty much never cook inside. I have a grill, griddle, air fryer, slow cooker and other gadgets in one of my bays that I can setup outside.

Unless the microwave wave is a special RV unit (smaller than usual) a convection/microwave should fit right in.

I think most of us cook outside. Even in the rain, I cook under the awning.
To me, an oven would not be a deal breaker. Several options already shared. We've used the oven once in nearly five years. Twice actually if you count testing in PDI.

We cook inside almost exclusively. Still, I would never own an RV with an over, it's just not necessary in most cases. Our convection/microwave does all the cooking we need. However, it is only the 2 of us. If more come along on your travels, an oven might make sense.

Every MH i have owned the Microwave was a full size home unit, not a trucker / RV special size unit, that said I would take a tape measure and get the dimensions of the space available, i think the odds Favor swapping out the factory MW with a MW/convection unit
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !
