The March 2015 issue of Trailer Life has an article in it about a new Italian (SMEV brand, Model CU43410730000US) LP cooktop/oven to replace the factory installed Amana cooktop/oven. That is, the width and length are the same as the old unit, but it is 2 inches taller. The article has directions on how to modify the installation space for that. The BIG improvements are that this unit has 12VDC wired to it, so it has an electronic spark ignitor for both the rangetop burners and the oven. There is also now a light inside the oven. The oven burners have gotten a high tech redesign to make the heating more even in the oven to eliminate burned on the bottom foods. Also the burner is stated to be 33% more gas efficient than the old units. Dometic is importing these and selling them to the RV industry. The article is on page 77 of the Trailer Life issue, but although I could find other March 2015 articles on the Trailer Life website, I could not find this article.
The list price is $975, which would admittedly buy a lot of matches and prepared main dishes.
