Probably a bit hard to find too......not gonna be at Home Depot or Sears, unless special ordered. Now, if you are asking if you can plug a 220VAC range into 110VAC.... Check this out at WikaAnswers If you are looking for a 110VAC range......Here's one! I just did a Google Search for "110V Ranges"...always a wealth of information!! * This post was edited 10/29/09 12:40pm by PapPappy * Bill & Claudia / DD Jenn / DS Chris Dogs: Sophie, Abby, Brandy, Kahlie, Annie, Maggie & Beau RIP: Cookie (Sheltie) & Gidget (Lab-mix) over the Rainbow Bridge. 2000 Winnebago "Minnie" 31C, Ford V-10 Purchased April 2008 FMCA# F407293 The Pets wittmeba • View posts Roanoke, Va Senior Member Joined: 02/02/2001 View Profile Posted: 10/29/09 12:45pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Here is a 20" with 4 burners. If this is typical it requires 230VAC and a max of 33 amps. If you go to 115VAC the current will double. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q........utf-8&cid=1175128888511362552&sa=title#p It would be resonable to think that a 2 burner would be about 1/2 the current draw. It depends on what you want. Most likely it will require 230VAC. To my loving wife, Carolyn: "I dont love you because I need you. I need you because I love you".

Are you wanting to do away with LP altogether, or do you just want an electric option? Suburban makes a dual fuel range with 2 LP burners and a single 120 volt electric "burner". There are some 120 volt induction burners out there for a custom install, though they are generally a single "burner". Remember that an electric range can draw a full 50 amps at 240 volts- that's how mine is wired. That's the reason that many high end all electric coaches are wired for 100 amp power now. -- Chris Bryant My RV Service Blog The RV.net Blog chipper • View posts Nampa,Id Senior Member Joined: 10/31/2002 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/29/09 03:34pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator You wouldn't believe how slow a 110 burner is, I had one, awful! gene PRT • View posts NY~FL Senior Member Joined: 05/25/2001 View Profile Posted: 10/29/09 03:39pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We winter now in a trailer that is a park model. The only LP here is the stove and I have a feeling the line leaks - which is why I want the electric. The man who owned this and put the central air in lives two doors down and people seem sure there is 220 because of the central air unit. He is not home at the moment to ask. We have disconnected the propane btw. Thanks for all the responses. I was kind of afraid of that and none of the sites I went to finding a 20" range mentioned the specs. I will ask this friend and then call Home Depot - I of course order things before I know the whole scoop.

If you have a double main breaker then you have 240v available. For a semi-permanent park model I would guess 98% chance you do have 240v available. 2001 F150 SuperCrew 2006 Keystone Springdale 249FWBHLS PRT • View posts NY~FL Senior Member Joined: 05/25/2001 View Profile Posted: 10/29/09 04:24pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator It's anchored down and not going anywhere any time soon I checked the panel earlier - I have two "things" that say 50 and the rest say 20. Neither of us has any knowledge about this kind of stuff as you can tell. LOL!!
