Oven question..

[utee94]

Not a full-timer, just a camper with two young kids (10 months, and almost 3 years old).

We use the oven every trip. I've used it to make muffins, biscuits, pizza, enchiladas, and numerous other dishes. I love the oven. One of the reasons I moved up from tent-camping to an RV was to have conveniences and luxuries of home, while camping. For me, the oven is a major part of that.

I also use the microwave every trip. It's much faster for heating water for baby bottles and things like that.

Don't have an electric convection oven, can't comment on that.

Good luck!

I find that I cook a bit differently when I am out camping in the 'Stream'. However, I do use the oven at home a LOT and therefore I use the oven in the camper enough to say that I would not want to be without it. Easy breakfasts such as Cinnamon rolls, muffins, banana bread, breakfast casseroles, quickbreads.

I love a good fire in the winter and cook outside a lot with my dutch ovens, but in the Florida heat, the inside oven gets used a lot more in the summer. Its just so convenient and the oven is spot-on temperature-wise. Bakes beautifully.

I do a lot of grilling outside while camping, but its just so nice to have a dessert baking in the oven for when you are finished with dinner. Apple crisp is a favorite, brownies are another.

Not a full timer.

Well you can tell that we are one grandparents who own an AS, take 4 of 6 Grandkids with us everytime we go, and never cook on the stove, we use the grill & campstove outside for all cooking. The grandkids love it, pancakes & bacon or eggs & bacon, when cooking. Cerial the rest of the time.

We don't have one in our Airstream but since we do most of our cooking outdoors we've seldom missed it. In the colder climates though I have found myself wanting one and have planned accordingly whenever we get around to doing the renovation.
