Newest mod. Flush stove top.

I don't recommend this mod to anyone that is just average in the world of DIY. It's not very forgiving if some thing gets cut wrong. My wife has complained about the metal cover on our stove/oven since we bought the camper. Our old pop up had a nice cover made out of glass that was semi flush with the counter top. Once I tracked one down it was just a lot of cutting and measuring. I believe some of the newer Jayco have these tops on them. Ours is a 2012 Greyhawk 31FS. All comments are welcome.

Stove top

Depends on the application I guess - and understanding most RVers don't employ this unusual app; it will be anomalous but may be a consideration. Many of us (when I was in Alaska) used our campers while on AK rivers, to process and can salmon. This evolution required an extremely sturdy stove base on which to set a large, heavy pressure cooker. Looking around for something like a "glass" top, we were soon disabused of the notion a glass-topped stove top would be sufficiently strong to support a very heavy canning pressure cooker (16-24 1/2 pint full cans). As stated before, it isn't your normal cooking; however, anything comparable to any weight I described may not be advisable when thinking about a glass range top.

Jeff, the cooking stove top is not glass, it is only a cover that is glass, providing a flat surface for other jobs when you are not using the stove top. Kind of like an extended countertop. Once you open it, you have standard gas stovetop with grates to cook on. The glass cover folds in half and serves as a grease/splash guard for the back wall.

Great job! I wish mine had the flat top stove also. Ours is a 2016 Greyhawk. You would think that Jayco would put them in their RV's, as most of their TT's have them. Wonder why they dont?

My bad - guess I misunderstood what was depicted. Nevertheless, what I postulated is still valid. TX for informing me.
