Stove/Oven Replacement
Author: BigRabbitMan (Show all albums)

Due to our use patterns and due to a high sensitivity to hydrocarbon fumes, the decision was made to remove the original stove/oven (sold to another coach owner) and replace it with an electric cooking system. These pictures follow the transformation once the orignal unit was gone.

Another test fitting, but now the side panel that covers the vent line and wiring is permanently in place.


A closeup of the switched outlets that will service the cooktop area. By having switched outlets, something can be left plugged in and yet the power can be removed. Also should something be spilled all power can be removed very quickly and safely.


This is the outside view. Note the panhead 8/32 bolts used to attached this outside fixture to the fan housing sandwitching the fiberglass wall. This makes for a very clean, sturdy attachment of all pieces.

Now it is installed with the fan and wired. The round object just below the fan is a temperature activated switch. Should the oven be used and the fan not manually turned on and the temperature of this area reach 150 degrees, that switch will turn the fan on automatically and cool things down.


This is a test fitting of the fan housing. Creating the housing that goes from a circle to a rectangle in a couple of inches was a challenge but came out very well.


This is the stove/oven vent outlet through the coach wall. The last several hundred units had this small vent. Here it is taped over as the exhaust fan and the outside fixture will sandwitch the fiberglass wall.


Here is an over all picture of that area with all three outlets. The black pipe is the vent line for the sink drain. You can also see a few of the rivet nuts that were installed into the body frame member to accept the bolts for the top of the oven support frame.


Dirctly above those outlets is the outlet for the oven. You can also see the 12v assessory outlet and the switch for the exhaust fan that I previously installed.


Here you see the two switched outlets that will service the stove top area. The red switch is for the electric element of the water heater.


At this point it was time to tap into the coach's 120v wiring system to provide outlets for the oven and the stove top systems. To do that, the refrigerator was removed for access to a factory outlet. Romex was run from there forward to three outlets - two for the stove top and one for the oven. The refrigerator was then put back. I had previously replaced the propane/electric refrigerator with a 12v electric unit.


Another test fitting with the oven and the initial panels.


Here you see the addition of the two side pieces and the back splash. The side pieces provide additional support to the arms, provide closure to the opening and will be a point of attachment for a under the oven panel. Other than the frame, all pieces are laser cut and formed Stainless Steel. All bolt and screw holes are precut by the laser.
