Stove/Oven Replacement
Author: BigRabbitMan (Show all albums)

Due to our use patterns and due to a high sensitivity to hydrocarbon fumes, the decision was made to remove the original stove/oven (sold to another coach owner) and replace it with an electric cooking system. These pictures follow the transformation once the orignal unit was gone.

I think it looks good! A lot better than the plywood that was doing temporary duty. Now I need to build the drawer for cooking utensils that will go underneath the cutting board.


Well, I finally got the custom cutting board fitted for the stove top place in the counter. The cutting board is VT maple and is 1.5 inches thick. The edges are routed out 1.0 inches to allow the board to nest in the old stove opening where it is secure and doesn't stick up too high. The edges of the board overlap the countertop by 0.5 inches for support.


And that part is done. See the following pictures to see the cutting board insert. Keep on rollin', rollin', rollin'.


Step up and start cooking!


Here is the operator's view. Fan switch to the left, water pump switch to the right, and light switch under the right side. Good to go!


Finally, all of the pieces are in place. With the high capacity exhaust fan, three screens were used so lots of air can be drawn up and out by the exhaust fan. They are attached to the back side of the under pan. Note the addition of the LED light under the oven so that the cook top area has good lighting. And, yes, a little bling is good. It's my coach, and I am proud of it!


Now the trim around the oven and the cabinet has been added. The trim piece was edged with automotive "door edge" material to keep the SS flashing from scratching the oven and to create the seal.


Here is a close up of how the oven is anchored to the supporting frame. One on each side. It can't move no matter how big of a bump I hit!


... like this or one on this side of the coach and one on the other side of the coach.


I have two burner units so I can use them like this or ...


This is the normal cooking location. I can leave the unit plugged in and simply turn the power on or off as desired with the switched outlet. The plywood counter piece will later be replaced with a cutting board style wooden piece. There will be a drawer underneath the board.


We have been focused on the oven, but take a look at the what replaces the gas burners. This is an electic "hot plate" that is an induction unit. It doesn't itself get hot so it can be used wherever you can plug it in. I have this counter so I can cook on both sides of the coach.
