Hey all! I know this is a noob questions, but..... We have a new to us 2001 Starcraft PUP. This camper has an interior and an exterior LP quick connect for a stove, but our camper did not include a stove. We are new camper owners, but we have tent camped for ages, everything from backpacking and canoeing, to the big Coleman family tents. I am also an avid home cook, and I have A LOT of camp kitchen gear I bring, including stoves, grills, BBQ's, griddles, a hot dog fork, and more but I'm toying with the idea of replacing the original camper stove just to have it. Unfortunately, I have no idea what to search for to find this kind of stove. This is not the kind of portable camp stove that runs on 1 pound cylinders, and it's not a drop-in RV stove either. It connects with the quick connect fittings, and can be placed on the counter inside the camper, or it can attach to the exterior side of the camper via the track. You guys know what I mean ;-)
So what kind of stove is this? Can someone please link an example? Or, can I use any camp stove and just get some kind of adapter? I am a total noob with the quick connects lol!
I also want to ask, are these stoves even "worth it"? We really don't want to cook much of anything inside the camper, except maybe to boil water for the occasional cup of hot cocoa or to heat a can of soup in all but the most extreme rainy conditions (and I hate canned soup lol!). I have a decent Stansport 2 burner camp stove I carry now and setup separately from the camper, but sometimes I really wish I had three or four burners. I thought I could get a second stove of some kind so I had more burners, and was wondering if it would be best to look for a new "original style" stove, or just get a solid stand-a-lone camp stove. As far as "real" cooking, this stove would mostly be for simmering or keeping things hot, a backup to my Stansport two burner.
Any recommendations?
Thanks for your help!
