I am looking at buying an oven in the near future, considering one of these. Who has experience with either? Road Chef and Marine Oven Buddy, similar cost, size but interesting addition of door clasp on Road Chef.

The road chef is a direct Chinese copy of the Travel Buddy oven which are made in Bendigo.
When there is no price advantage then what is the point of a Chinese copy?

^^^^^ what he said ^^^^^^
It is a disgrace but thats life. Travel buddy all day. Fit a clasp if you need it.
Another vote for the Travel Buddy. Make sure you run good sized cables and use Anderson plugs rather than rely on the cigarette lighter socket.
@MEGOMONSTER had a great unit that he used on a trip to Tallarook. Which reminds me I still owe him for a couple of sausage rolls or pies.
Thanks guys, good feedback, Travel Buddy it is.
Cheaper and readily available.
Aluminium foil wrapped pastry tucker atop of 6.5 V8 valleys we know Philstar!

1,500rpm for 16 minutes on sausage rolls and 28 minutes & 2,200rpm for frozen pies :-)

Inlet manifold for sure, saw the results of a guy who didn't watch properly and he put his on the exhaust manifold - beautiful char lunch and smoke galore - funny as hell at the time, could have caught fire. @MB, with the number of nuts and bolts I have 'stored' in that damn valley I reckon lunch would come out mangled! Also, have to change the accelerator cable to a linkage setup and it moves around under the manifolds, so guess I will stick with the oven.
@PeeBee I’m shocked to find out that thing of yours doesn’t have an oven fitted in it somewhere already - actually I expected it to have a gourmet kitchen in it to be honest
I have been trying to decide between the oven or a microwave oven. Both are avail around the same size and I have the power to run the microwave. Actually I did have a microwave to put into the truck. The small unit we had in the kitchen at home stopped working, so out we went an d bought a new one. I decided to open it up for a look and found it had simply blown the 'slow blow' microwave fuse, so for $6 I had it going again. trouble was, I started gloating to the other half about now having a MW oven for the truck, and she pushed back, demanded it back and then returned the one we just bought - damn, tactical error 101- learnt a lesson there.Quote:

Underneath I reckon Phil, tucked up next to the chassis rail.

I actually broke that one, spewing! It was pretty good but nothing like the Travel Buddy. I would love to buy a Travel Buddy but just can't work out where it would go with my setup.Quote:

Maybe try for a group buy on the travel buddy you never know eh @Winnie just had a quick look on eBay and seems Traralgon trailers
have the best price, maybe pop in and see what they can do?
Bought the marine oven and the pair of SS pans to go with it. Vendor showed they had 5 in stock. Got a message today saying they had sold out and were waiting on a back order. Hate BS. Not in a hurry but annoyed with the deception.
Roadrunner had stock when I was there last week Phil.Quote:

Yeah, vendor gone into silent running mode, waiting to get a response. I am not in a hurry as won't be out and about for quite a while.
I've had a Travel Buddy for years, probably one of the best things I've ever bought for the 4wd. Can't beat the smell of a couple of Butter Chicken pies wafting through the 4wd on a winter's day.
Trays to go inside arrived yesterday, another 2 weeks for the oven.
Sorry might be the homemade Jimmy making me delusional, but for a vendor that sells a simple multi-function camp oven, why the fark would you be wanting 2 buy an oven Phil???? *LMAO*
To keep his sensational roast warm after he's cooked it lolQuote:

As much as I love my super Phil oven I would not want it smoking away in the back of the wagon on the way to camp!Quote:

@PeeBee
I've had the Travel Buddy Marine Oven for years and love it.
It's permanently set up on a shelf in the back of my pod. I put food in it and it re-heats whilst we are driving.
I had to put ventilation in the pod as it kept steaming the place up. By steaming I mean condensation.

Really?

@nissangq42 I trust we are still friends.
Bye for now, my PC tank is empty.
