OK,
Did a search for this before posting... My original princess stove combo took a crap about a year ago. Bought a used one that ended up being smaller and it crapped out last week.. Thinking of replacing it with an LP combo. Dimensions are 20X20X24 .... Closest I've found so far is this. https://www.defender.com/product.jsp...208&id=2459377.(have found the same unit on other sites that are cheaper, just using this one as an example Might be a silly question, but they all are gimballed units. Is it simply a job of cutting off the gimball to make it fit? I'm still looking at all options, LP, electric and whatever but know there's a wealth of knowledge on this site.

Re: Replacing my electric stove/oven with a LP combo
Saw one boat who mounted the tank up top by the built in seating (my thought too)And saw a pic of one where the owner put it in the cabinet between the V berths with a vent hole going out the side of the boat. The licensed tech who will be doing it says either one is 'doable'. Course just putting in another electric one would be the easiest way to go...

Don't put the tank inside the boat. Propane is dangerous enough without doing that.

It can be done safely. Sniffers, solenoids, vented cabinets etc. etc. Personally I will never have propane on a boat. No schlepping bottles, and if it's not there it can't blow up. Period. I certainly won't put it below decks, don't care HOW you install it. Induction cook top with a cast iron pan is what I have in my Moho. When it breaks throw it out and buy a new one. Installs in minutes, great to cook on.

Re: Replacing my electric stove/oven with a LP combo
I bought a Gaggenau oven that will fit in the space the current oven. It's a side opening unit just like the original, same width, and only slightly taller. This isnt the exact model, but close.My original unit still works fine, but I'm ready when it fails.
