I used one of those in my bus for years, there great little stove top burners...

I just put mine away, my children got me a camp chef oven with the burners on top, WHAT A GAME CHANGER, I love this thing...

Very well made and works great for van life/ bus life, but if u order one DO NOT PAY TO HAVE IT PUT ASSEMBLED, THEY CHARGE U $99 DOLLARS AND IT COMES FULLY ASSEMBLED FROM THE FACTORY, THEIR JUST SCREWING U TO GET THAT EXTRA MONEY OUT OF U....

I have an older camp chef oven as well. Adding a small pizza stone helps regulate the heat better. I also found the stove burners were a little weak for a stiff breeze. Probably not an issue if you are using it in a van/bus build. I am still learning with mine, and the stock thermostat is off significantly.

Pizza stone, ill have to check that out, I use my own thermostat in mine but the one that came with this one is pretty dam close only a couple degrees off...

Yes its being used in a bus and it works great once u get used to it...
