Things should be getting better for propane because 1 January no more open pilot lights on any gas appliances manufactured or imported in the USA. Long overdue. An RV oven-cooktop is just fine with me if I have a way to light the oven and burners manually w/o pilot lite. Lighting pilot lights is generally not easy needing to heat the bimetal device first and NO WAY will I allow an open flame in the cabin unattended. I like battery powered igniters. As for brackets and so forth, if it is too rough to cook with out brackets and guards it is time for microwave, ham sandwiches and so forth for it is too rough to cook anyway. 95%+ is at the dock or on the hook. PO put in an RV unit with a pilot lite for the oven......useless. New range is on the list, currently waiting to see the offerings are after the regulations kick in. I have solenoid remote gas control, safety bilge sniffer-alarm and exterior ventilated tanks. Currently using electric toaster oven, rail mounted Weber Q 100 grill.
