 Since ovens are large and resource-hungry they are usually only found in [[rv:class_c|RVs]], schoolies, some truck campers, etc. They are only rarely found in [[rv:cargo_van|cargo vans]] and [[rv:class_b|class B RVs]]. Since ovens are large and resource-hungry they are usually only found in [[rv:class_c|RVs]], schoolies, some truck campers, etc. They are only rarely found in [[rv:cargo_van|cargo vans]] and [[rv:class_b|class B RVs]].

 +For those who do like having a real oven, the [[https://www.campchef.com/camp-cooking-systems-ovens/outdoor-ovens.html|Camp Chef camping ovens]] have some popularity due to their relatively compact size. However because they are built to be lightweight and portable, they are extremely flimsy. They rattle and shake and buzz //endlessly//, no matter how smooth the road that you're driving on is. Long-term reliability is also questionable with the flimsiness of the construction.
 +
 +People who REALLY want an oven in a very small space have sometimes turned to boat ovens, which offer much better build quality in a very good form factory. But just like anything built for airplanes, anything built for boats carries a very high price tag. Ideally you'll look for a 2-burner version as they're generally shallower and the most compact, but [[https://www.defender.com/category.jsp?name=fixed-stoves-and-ovens&path=-1|2276204|2276205&id=2276208|don't say we didn't warn you about the prices.]]

 Most types have a built-in thermometer and rely on stove output to regulate temperature.  Because of their small size and light weight it can be difficult to keep an even temperature; lower flames are easiest to adjust. Most types have a built-in thermometer and rely on stove output to regulate temperature.  Because of their small size and light weight it can be difficult to keep an even temperature; lower flames are easiest to adjust.

 +Although they are not actually ovens, dutch ovens and [[food:cooking:crockpot|crockpots]] can be used for some kinds of baking.
