Do you really need an oven?

I would think that Auto Sleepers would be one of the makers more likely to be "up for it" as in the past when a family UK company they would, but of that was a few years ago

Never  used  an  oven  in  a motorvan  yet  !!  Well  at  least  not  to  cook  in  --  my previous  Citroen  &  my  present  Fiat,  both  s/h  of  course,  came  with  ovens  which  I  immediately  decided  were  ideal  places  for  my "Lock 'n Lock"  cereal  boxes  &  the  loaf  !!  Fully  insulated  as  they  are  it  does  help  to  keep  the  goodies  fresh  !!

The  only  time  I  had  dealings  with  A/Sleepers  they  were  very  good  --  solved  my  problems  with  a  Smile  but  that  was  at  the  turn  of  the  century !!

I have just asked the chief chef and she has said to me that she reckons she could do without the hob before the oven!!! I am sure she doesn't mean that but we do find the oven very useful. Not everything can be cooked successfully in a microwave. Perhaps another thing to think of is that when it becomes time to swap or sell up a prospective buyer might want the oven and its often small things like that which put people off?

I'd be happy to lose the oven. I've not used mine in either caravan. I don't use the one at home much either 

It's one of those things that is a personal choice.  We have had vans with and without and adapted our cooking accordingly.  Now I am 'solo' I tend to cook salads or one pot meals so do not need an oven.  They are good for storing bread and fruit.

If you're not going to use it you can still store things in it, I think I'd keep it for sell on value.

I use our oven but if I didn't it would be handy for quite a few things.

OH uses an oven nearly every day, both at home and in the caravan.

We had a single oven +combi microwave at home, but have recently changed to a double oven.  We use the microwave even less in the van than we do at home, would not really miss it, but would miss a proper oven.

Good luck with that one, Q, but why not ask them?

We or to be strictly correct my wife uses the oven in our caravan a lot when we are away. The Mickey barely gets touched,but that may have something to do with Yvonne being only 4'11".Bless 😁😁.I use it a lot.

Yes you can manage without one, we did with our first caravan and it didn't have a microwave. We have never had a microwave in a van and still don't so wouldn't be without our oven which can also be used for storage. Not every site supplies enough electric to run a microwave, having a gas oven increase choice of what to cook and where to stay.
