Do you really need an oven?

I am most grateful for all the replies.  My wife and I are now certain that we would like a motorhome without the oven and the microwave.  We do nearly all our cooking out of doors so now the next decision is the choice of a Remoska or a Double Skillet.   We already have an electric hotplate which we can use if we decide on the Double Skillet.

I have both the Remoska and (had) the double skillet. We started off with the skillet but soon migrated to the Remoska which is far more versatile for roasting chicken and making bread. We carry a small slow cooker for stews etc and small Cadac BBQ. I recently sent the skillet to the recycle centre as not used for many years

Q, have you thought about the implications on the resale value of a non-standard MH? Also, have you considered that the day may come when you might not be able to take the van to warmer climes so need to cook inside? Personally, I’d be very wary.

Have you asked the dealer about the possibility of ordering a one-off Stanton?

We never use our oven (autosleeper Broadway) but have an separate electric hotplate and a microwave.  We keep the saucepans in a washing up bowl in the oven so have the storage while keeping the option.

No question, it's a definite Yes from us.

We use the van all year & a lot of the time we are off-grid.

It's nice having a good "home cooked" meal on a crisp winters day.

The thought just crossed my mind that those who do not have/use an oven cannot be warming their slippers much.

Sorry  Navigateur,  I  sit  on  mine  to  warm  em !!

 Is that after you put them on . . . ?

Lots of comment on this, and it's 'horses for courses' like so much else in camping kit.   However, it's interesting that no one has mentioned the payload used up by ovens, around 40kg at least for many of them.  Buy a decently specced-up Euro model and dealers will have added them to all the vans they import as everyone wants one, apparently - so much for customer choice if that's not the thing at the top of your wish list.
