Replacing stovetop

I full time and have a Magic Chef stove/oven. Hate the oven and only use my Breville electric toaster oven. So I pulled out the Magic Chef, installed the Breville, and am going to add a new stove top unit.

This unit will fit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0878WLFTX/?coliid=I1UCS9AXMB3SX4&colid=2VHMZ3X3C4277&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

It looks like a simple install. Just wondering if anyone has an opinion or suggestion before ordering it.

When my cooktop started giving me grief I replaced it with a small residential one. The burner tops and grates will dance around on rough roads so I stretch a couple of bungee cords across the top to hold them in place. The original cooktop had the knobs in front so I had to fill the front of the countertop. I made a shallow drawer to fill the gap. As mentioned, the igniters need 120VAC. I have an inverter in my coach so that is not a problem. You can light the burners with a match or lighter. Here's the outcome:

I did see that the igniters on it require 120V power to operate. I suspect you likely could use the rangetop when off-grid (and without using an inverter) if you lit them with a match or lighter, but it would be a good idea to verify that. It would be wise to also verify required clearances from walls, etc. as this seems to be a residential rather than an RV cooktop and the spacing needed may be more than you have (or possibly you may need to add a noncombustible barrier such as perhaps a ceramic tile backsplash).

Also being a residential unit, I would expect the grates and perhaps burner units to be quite prone to rattling and jostling loose when on the road. I suppose the rattling is mainly a concern in a motorhome, but coming loose and bonking about the kitchen area is potentially problematic in any RV.
