Do you really need an oven?

Oven to us Hardly get used and wish we could replace with a matching cupboard. The oven is the source of many a rattle, buzz and vibration. The most annoying thing when driving. We have a 4 burner hob and most meals can be cooked on there. 

 

Never use ours. If it was a bit bigger we could store the BBQ in it!

My parents have a Swift Bolero and they often use the oven for ready meals - life's too short to be peeling spuds etc. in a van.

The most invaluable oven use was when Dad closed the seat on the thermocouple for the heating and broke it.  Even if you don't use an oven it is good to know you have some other form of heat just in case.

That was the same weekend I was camping with friends in Northumberland and we had ice on our tents.  That stopped them complaining how cold they were. ;)

One of the little reasons for my change in accommodation choice :)

We use our caravan oven/ grill quite frequently.  We would really miss it.

cook salads. that's a new one to me, surely the leaves wilt.

Peppers and tomatoes are much sweeter when roasted, cooked mushrooms are tangy,pinenuts just browned are delicious, crispy bacon bits and garlic croutons are crunchy. You must have very boring salads,

Depends on where you spend most of your time holidaying. The OP states warmer weather.

We also spend most of our time touring in the south of France and Spain so having an oven isn't high on my list but the MH came with one.I use it to store my Multi cooker, it fits a treat. It also acts as another storage for chocolate biscuits  pop them inside the multi cooker, then put that in the oven (not switched on of course) it keeps the chocolate firm but not hard like when its in the fridge.

The microwave again I use it because its there but could cope quite well without it if needed. 

I do most of the cooking outside under the canopy if  using the electric multicooker or hob, the gas BBQ sits out a bit further away from the MH.

Even in the UK its the grill rather than the oven that gets used.

In Southern France last June it was around 35 deg. C. Imagine trying to use an oven in that heat.

No oven,  no microwave, no grill, no Remoska, no barbecue - and yet we manage very well.
