RV Renovation: We Ditched The Propane Stove For Something EVEN Better!

We really hope we do not live to regret this decision. While we love our front TV cabinet makeover, we are now fully committed to using the convection part of our microwave instead of an oven. This mod meant cutting into counter tops so what's been done will NOT be undone! Will it all work out?

We live in our fifth wheel full time with 3 small kids and we just pulled out the oven! I was so worried about taking it out because I bake all the time but I hated that stove so much and it leaked so we only ever used one burner. We have a one burner induction stove top that is mobile/set up as needed and I primarily 'bake' in one of our two instapots, a 6 qu or the 8qt that also has the air fry/bake lid. So far, so good! We are looking to upgrade this summer with an electric smoker/pit outside but I've been able to bake a ton of stuff, planning on doing bread this week. The amount of new storage and countertops in our bunkhouse fifth wheel is now amazing. You won't regret it!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Good to hear! Safe travels.

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Yeah Stewart you the man!! Fabulous Work such a sweet man and his wife make a brilliant team!! Very Lucky to have Him!! Very professional work

[@GratefulGlamper]

[@dewayneavery5097]

We installed a counter top d/washer where the stove was and a induction burner. Love the both. Very little propane use now.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Awesome mod.

[@CharmaineSilva777]

Omg, so exciting! Stewart is frickin awesome! Congrats!

[@GratefulGlamper]

We think he’s pretty awesome too.

[@HelloWorldRobnLisa]

Great re-purposing of old design spaces.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks!

[@mattmlmlml]

Best video thumbnail of the year! Creative! Excellent video!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks!

[@bettinabernard1297]

Came here to learn about propane stove removal. Gave up after 8+ minutes

[@ms.pirate]

Yeah, alot of clickbait vlogs 10:16 heres the removal

[@ms.pirate]

And 14:12

[@jimscycleandautotn8508]

It's pretty straightforward 🕳️

[@sparkdog44]

Nice. We replaced all the cockpit cabinets in our ‘04 Disco. It solved a whole bunch of issues.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Awesome!

[@wndrsoulnomads]

AWESOME... we are planning on removing the propane stove as well!

[@IMV61]

You’re my inspiration!😊

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thank you!

[@kathieleedavis6444]

We finally became full time rv. Ers

[@GratefulGlamper]

Congrats!

[@johnhines3591]

Now you MUST run generator when boondocking. Prefer using gen as little as possible.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Yes, we know. We rarely boondock and when lotdocking we’re usually eating something out of the fridge (sandwiches, charcuterie, etc) or eating at the Cracker Barrel if that’s where we’re parked. We don’t mind using our Gen when needed.

[@BigHueJanus]

I took out my propane burners and installed a convection and never looked back. Now I dont cook for a family, but knowing I dont have to use propane to cook when I do is a plus for me. Next I am having my company install an 8 camera 360* safety video system for all sorts of things. 1) I wont have to get up and peek out a window at night wile boondocking to see whats happening at night. 2) it will have a 4 TB SDD so i should never loose video files. 3) safety wile driving - recording 360* 24/7 is an amazing mental plus. After that will come upgrading to a hybrid hot water system. electric instant wile shore power is there, but propane backup wile not. lastly I saw that "workman's bandaid" he had! haha, I cant tell you how many times I cut myself and used napkins and electrical tape to keep going.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Sounds like some awesome mods! Thanks for watching the comment

[@Challway]

I wish I had a Stewart! I live in NE Florida and find it hard to find a person like him. Just to install a Max Fan. I also HATE the propane oven! I have a little induction cooktop that I use and a toaster oven. Never used the propane oven

[@GratefulGlamper]

We’re so thankful to have his help.

[@heidihobson4525]

I just pulled the CRT tv out of my 99 class a and stuffed a rectangle of carpet behind the led TV to keep my cats out of the insulation back there. Stewart's solution is much nicer!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Agreed!

[@dougd9944]

So cool ! I have the induction cooktop as well. I am in the process of making a cutting board to cover my cooktop. I think it will work great. Jmo for us.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Sounds great!

[@DonaldTrumpsLeftHand]

love how yall changed out the propane for eletric definity will save you money especially if you have solar hookups

[@onealmr]

YES !!!!! THE OLD INTRO !!!!!!!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Glad you like it!

[@stephaniefitch4713]

No,no, no… you are going to ❤️ LOVE your new electric cook top. It is going to be your very new best friend. Happy Cooking this holiday season on it..

[@coreymatthews92]

You could get a small curtain rod with curtain to block it out if you get sick of looking at it.

[@dannidaymitchell613]

Not only is Stewart handy but he’s handsome!

[@GratefulGlamper]

😂

[@susanshafer5106]

Looks great. So without the propane stove, do you still use propane for the furnace?

[@GratefulGlamper]

We do for now….

[@sandpiperadventures9487]

Very nice. Looking forward to the next video

[@tm8747]

i to this day have my 3 burner stove and oven in the trailer, i use the oven but not the stove, i do most of the cooking outside , on camp stove 3 burner system . only the oven gets used.

[@amydiane21]

This is something that I am considering but like you, wondering if I will regret it. So being a year later, do you regret adding the induction and getting rid of the propane stove?

[@King-hl9vp]

Both front and oven look good

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks!

[@user-wr2kp3qj8u]

I am looking to remove my oven and make it into a storage area for my pots and pans . I'm OK with the propane cooktop. However, I would also like to change my regular microwave to a convection one so I can air fry. I really just a newbie and I'm going to travel solo (part-time only) so, I'm not cooking for a family. Does Stewart get over to Southern California? Anyone know of an Reasonable RV Remodeler in the Orange County (CA) area as I have several other projects that I'll need help on as well. Thanks

[@blueoxontherun9188]

Your reno is inspiring. We have a 5th wheel currently, but have fallen in love with a 2014 DISCOVERY...BUT it's dark and dismal. WE would completely brighten and lighten it up. Researching the DISCOVERY, appears to be a solid brand and built in the years when attention to detail was top notch! Love the induction with storage below. I would ditch the propane in a heartbeat. What model is yours? We have found a 40E. Safe travels

[@GratefulGlamper]

Ours is a 39j

[@blueoxontherun9188]

Thank you! It will be a lot of work, but totally worth it. Our vision is to paint all the dark wood, white. And the walls with white barn board wallpaper...fingers crossed!

[@deborahjones7591]

I have a Furrion induction cook top how do you use it? Do you adjust watts you want to use then adjust degrees?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Honesty I just pay attention to the degrees 🤷‍♀️

[@k2kile]

What about slider doors for the camera storage space?

[@GratefulGlamper]

That’s a good idea / however would still require building some sort of header. The problem with that is trying to match up the vinyl, current shortages, etc.

[@Julian-do7bv]

Wish you guys was closer id pick up that stove from ya but I really like all the reno you guys have done

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thank you!

[@PeaceMeBish]

I want to do this as well with the stove (inlaid into the countertop), however, my first thought is what happens when a pot boils over. Have you experienced this? I’m worried that the liquid will flow into the gap around the cooktop and be a nightmare to clean up. And potentially ruining the cabinet underneath over time. Since boil overs are inevitable for those of us who are easily distracted.

[@GratefulGlamper]

We have silicone around the stove top so there isn’t a gap.

[@craftytraveler9238]

Thanks for the video. I really like your music, what site to you use? Both renos look great.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thank you! We primarily use musicbed for music in our videos.

[@ms.pirate]

10:16 and 14:12

[@mikethomsen5096]

What watts or amps does the convection stove draw

[@GratefulGlamper]

The microwave/convection oven combo does draw quite a bit of power. If you’re referring to the induction cooktop, it’s 1800 watts. You can see more tech specs on it here: amzn.to/3KszvAC

[@deborahallford7337]

Won't you always need electricity to power the convection oven?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Yep, which we camp mostly full hookups and have an on board generator if needed.

[@mlevenstone3]

Do you have a link for the rack?

[@GratefulGlamper]

This: amzn.to/47Zph3V and this: amzn.to/3uLci7j

[@adame924]

Great Stove mod, could you add what induction cooktop you used along with a line to the pull our draw storage you purchased from home depot to your description?

[@walterscanlan4037]

Nice upgrade, we are thinking of doing same, but concerned about power. I assume convection microwave and induction cooktop are on same circuit, are you limited to using either the cooktop or the microwave at same time?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Our microwave is on a separate circuit from the induction top. The only thing you have to be mindful of is OVERALL power usage. So for instance, if you have both a/c's going, using the induction top, charging devices, etc and then add another high power device, it could blow the breaker. Over all, just be mindful of power draw as a whole and you'll be fine. Thanks for watching!

[@brianlawliss1080]

I am not a Internet or KZbin influencer, but I am reaching out to those of you that are, and asking ones that might have connections with the industry, of RV's or Items that are Manufactured for RV's to have someone make the equivalent of the Propane Blackstone Grill, but Electric. I have been doing research on Fires in and around RV's being caused by Propane Stoves, Propane Heaters, and Propane Refrigerators. We now have 12V Refrigerators, and Electric induction cooktops, Why not the Equivalent of the Blackstone Grill, but only Electric? Somebody out there should be able to make one, but as of now, I have not found one, at least not a big one like the Blackstone!

[@jeffforbess6802]

You can get electric griddles all day. It’s what we use. They’re less than $50. I can do just about anything a black stone can do.

[@stephenpolos1689]

Good video 😃 but I would not have taken out the propane stove will have to see if the change works I do realize your rig is old and you want to improve it also do you have a home base I thought you sold your house 🤔

[@GratefulGlamper]

We sold our house in Colorado and moved our home base to FL last year

[@pjballs69]

Cool untill the glass on the stove starts looking like a construction worker's phone screen.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Our plan is to fab a cover with a cutting board type surface 😉

[@montanawalsh8155]

Why do you talk so much b4 you start the project

[@richpickard1680]

Don't know why everybody is giving up their propane it's way more efficient when boondocking no stress on the batteries Our fridge runs off a propane uses barely anything and then we cook And boil water on propane and if you're barbecue you're gonna need propane anyways ps almost forgot the furnace

[@GratefulGlamper]

We still have a propane fridge also, but love our new induction cook top.

[@laquitarobinson5968]

This is awesome! I'm wanting to go fulltime with a friend so I'm trying to watch as much as I can and as fast as I can. I like your videos alot but they get long...they drag along. Sorry but they have a lot of ums and redundant info. I really want to watch all of your videos but my time is limited as to how much I can watch. Again, sorry, not trying to be mean.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for the comment

[@jeannedobbins7880]

Too much talking not enough instructions

[@ernie7065]

Please count the "whatnots" usage.... not sure how much each whatnot will cost; btw, they lack definition.

[@LilyGazou]

Hate the thumbnail. No regard for human dignity.

[@GratefulGlamper]

How is poking a head through a kitchen counter disregarding human dignity?
