Any recommendations of where places the toaster oven
I use  Black & Decker™ 4-Slice Toaster Oven every morning. I am wondering where you put your toaster oven. Right now I put on the dinner table, but need pack into the box where driving. I am looking for permanent place to put and use, so I don't have to pack/unpack every time.

You could remove your microwave oven like we did in our 98~MB to create a new cabinet space to store things like a toaster oven?

I've never used  a toaster oven.  However we store our toaster, cast iron Dutch oven, cookie tray, and 4 skillets in the cabinet  under the oven of our twin king.  Also, when grandchildren are not using the over cab bunk.  We use it for storage.

Toaster or toaster-oven take up way too much room in our rig. Besides, since we rarely have hookups, running the generator early in the morn is prohibited in all campgrounds. Stovetop toaster gadgets are terrible. At home, to avoid heating the house in summer, I toast on the grill outside - works, but you have to monitor the process and flip.

What a great tip! I hadn't seen that one before. Thanks, Kristin!

We're opposed to anything in the LD that might cause us to start the generator, no matter the time of day. I wish other RVers were the same.

So we don't carry any electrical appliances other than a small box heater and the microwave and AC that LD supplied, all of which get used only when we have hookups or there is absolutely no one else to hear the generator but us. There is a non-electrical alternative for almost everything.

For toast we just use the gas oven that LD so thoughtfully provided. Light the oven, place the bread on an aluminum foil sheet in the bottom of the oven, under the heating element, turn the temperature control to Broil, turn after a minute or two and we always get nice toast. And of course the oven works quite well for anything that requires an oven.

The oven can be a bit tricky to light but my wife has become an expert at that.

To me, part of the fun of RVing is going back to a somewhat simpler or older ways of doing things, without going all the way back to living in a cave.

Here's a toaster oven for people who have an absolute minimum of counter space to spare. The Dash Mini Toaster Oven is the smallest one I've ever seen--just about seven inches wide, or about half the width of a typical toaster oven. It's good for one slice of bread, or one Red Baron personal pizza. (Some other brands are a little too big.)

There's an otherwise useless sliver of counter to the right of my Airstream's sink, and this little guy fits perfectly there. It only draws 550 watts, and I've found that a couple slices of toast (two minutes each) or a frozen pizza (nine minutes) don't even make a dent in my batteries when running on the inverter. It costs $22 to $25, depending upon color--cheap!

This is obviously not for families, or maybe even couples, but if you want a toaster oven that will fit in the smallest possible space, this worth a look. Yes, I have other ways of cooking on my gas stove, but there are some things that a toaster oven just does better or faster than anything else. For less than twenty-five bucks, it's a low-risk purchase.

(By the way, the same company makes a line of mini waffle irons that are also suitable for very small spaces. They only draw 350 watts, and are available in twenty or more colors and patterns for as little as ten bucks (!) apiece. That sounds too cheap to be good, but from my experience with the Dash mini toaster oven, I'm betting they're just fine.)

We are dinosaurs, like Terry and El we use the oven. We normally leave the pilot on as it's a bit of a pain to light. Hint use a fire stick. Other delicious foods are made in the oven.
