Also another thing to think about is ya can easily buy a small microwave and carry it with you, if needed, but tryin to carry a gas oven ain't so easy.

Timely quotes

Just read these quotes and thought them not only timely but brings a light perspective to the thread...

"Cooking and eating under the stars is one of the biggest joys of road life"

"More to the point, if you’re cooking inside, you’re not outside, which was a major motivation for hitting the road in the first place." ~
Aaron Gulley

Those are nice quotes. I love cookin outside. But not when it's rainin. And not when its freezin. And not when the mosquitoes are so bad you're breathin them up your nose. Also not when I'm stealth campin on a side street. Or when I'm Walmart campin. Or when I'm at a rest stop that don't allow gas stoves or fires. Or when the forest service has a fire ban.

I think ya get my point. One sees a lot of different conditions in 10-12 months of travel and one may wanna be prepared for em.

Amen, truth in those words!

The best thing you can take camping is an alternate plan. When conditions are as described (and it happens) our preparedness plan is to head into town and enjoy some of the fine local dining, drink and culture til the rain stops, mosquitoes aren't so bad, temps improve or fire ban lifted or move to the next location. In which case gas or convection in the Airstream becomes moot. We have that flexibility and that's why we live this mobile life, isn't it.

Ah, the pleasures of Airstreaming 🤗

I love doin that, too. Unless I'm boondockin 20 miles into the forest. In which case, I use my gas oven.

Also, I find the only thing better than an alternate plan is havin no plan at all!

Happy campin!

We have and use only the gas oven. We bought the current FC20 in part because it had a gas oven. Would not own a trailer without one.

FYI
I second that. I use the gas almost every day but definitely every trip. You do not have to worry about having hookups or using the generator to make dinner. I use the microwave to reheat but that only takes a few minutes. Useing a convection oven you have to put up with the fan noise the whole time you are cooking. The gas oven is silent and cooked everything from cake to a frozen pizza just like at home.
