How do other funsters manage with typical European galley configuration?
Thatās no age! Weāre in our late 50ās and adapted fineWe are in the same boat. We are looking to get a new van and this topic is exactly what we can't decide on either. We love the oven, and don't currently have an inverter. So the new van would have to install one. I honestly think it's a good idea however, the wife and I are nearly 50 years old and therefore we don't like changesBut I think that's the way we are going.

Yes it is a conventional convection oven, just smaller. It does not 'fry' anything and calling it an air fryer is just yet another marketing strategy (which seems to have worked very well). They are quicker than your oven at home because they are smaller. I bought one for ā¬60 and so far it has served me well.Excuse my ignorance, but is an air fryer not a fan assisted oven?
I have one in the van and find it perfect for cooking just about anything. I think the important catch is the power it uses and of course it's 240v. I do not use it at night, but for lunch it's fine because you recuperate the power with the solar panel or just run the engine for 15 minutes.That said, for MH applications they may be a good idea if no oven is fitted?

I would say you are leaning towards an 'air fryer'. Microwave ovens are no good for cooking, I don't care what anyone says, they are only good for reheating. I know there are millions of recipes for cooking in a microwave, but if you enjoy good food don't bother.We are just about to remove our tech tower and fit a large compressor fridge, this will also remove the gas oven on the top,
Once the new fridge is fitted we will then decide wether to fit a microwave or a low wattage oven, but have recently discovered air fryers so will hang fire until we are certain as we have never used the top gas oven in any of our vans.
I am leaning towards microwave?
We could possibly use the space for a bigger wattage air fryer as I say the jury is out at the moment as we never use ehuI would say you are leaning towards an 'air fryer'.

That will depend on your available power obviously. Mine is 1000W but only on start up, so uses a little less while running and I have a 2000W inverter which can handle it nicely.We could possibly use the space for a bigger wattage air fryer as I say the jury is out at the moment as we never use ehu![]()
We removed our large fridge freezer and fitted a compressor fridge freezer but a bit littler, left just enough above to fit a microwave.We are just about to remove our tech tower and fit a large compressor fridge, this will also remove the gas oven on the top,

Or a decent power bank.air fryer for us .... no need to use EHU if you have a decent lithium and inverter, plus some way of recharging the battery
havent used the oven for 12 months and unlikely to use it ....
we also have a microwave, that compliments the air fryer, plus several other electrical cooking appliances --- and thats where the benefits of spending your money on lithium rather than an oven, start to make more sense
Weāre ok on power 1800watt plus 300ah lithiumThat will depend on your available power obviously. Mine is 1000W but only on start up, so uses a little less while running and I have a 2000W inverter which can handle it nicely.
Not sure why the rush to ditch gas as a camping energy.Or a decent power bank.
Free 240v is always good.
Compressor fridge reducing gas use even more
The original fitted oven is redundant apart for storage!Been toying with having oven removed, anyone done this?
