Our 2019 International 27 foot has a Dometic RA-2135 cooktop / oven combination.
It took some effort and imagination to work out what needed to be done to keep the burners attached, the cook top from moving and the burners needing to be realigned with the propane tubing. After two years... and plenty of chasing the problems... it may be solved.
DO You have any issues with yours? Earlier this month I had enough... of chasing the solution. This is ONLY the cooktop with three burners. We use the oven to store bread. I looked it all over... and everything was... loose from the Dometic Factory. I had to use Lath Screws to secure what needed screws, but had not been installed.
The folding cooktop cover... was not installed properly. It is a puzzle finding the metal trim to secure the front... as you try to secure the back on Flimsy Brackets. Cheaply made... but once you figure out the front and the back and secure with drilling THREE small holes and Lath screws... The three burner sheet metal is not coming loose. The Lath screws are in the front area to secure it solid to the frame.
I would be happy to give you some suggestions IF I can help. Others may also be experienced with other options. I like the Lath Screw as they are hard steel and when torqued... stay snug. We will see how they work out...
I include three photographs that I made for my own information. Compare your cook top with these photographs and you may notice some SCREWS where none existed.
Secured the top with drilling some holes and using 1/2 inch Lath Screws to secure. Same with the Propane tubing to the burners.
We will see how this works out after looking at this very closely and finding missing screws to secure hardware BELOW the cooktop. The Burner Springs and small screws vibrate loose and the spring falls below where you can find it. Or... falls behind, the opening near the wall... never to be retrieved.
The front burner come loose often. My Airstream Dealer provided a new burner with hardware and it now fits this area. It was the burner that forced me to take the top apart and... sniff around... like a Neanderthal looking for a home cooked meal.
If you want to spend $$$$$ to replace... make sure the replacement is... better.
Nancy loves this unit. Boondocking cooking is wonderful with this three burner. You just need to secure... everything. A terrible lack of screws to secure hardware from the Factory. Once tamed... wonderful.
This unit works great at 2,000 feet (Las Vegas) elevation to over 10,000 feet elevation (Cedar Breaks, Utah).
