I'm looking for an oven for an rv. Now I'd imagine I'd have to probably open a window when in use but how hot does it get to the touch on the outside?

It's just like a regular sized kitchen oven. It gets hot on all sides and how hot depends on where the dial is set and how long the cook time is. For biscuits at about 350 for ten minutes it gets very hot on all sides. It is easy to carry outside and cook on a picnic bench. That's what we do in the summer months. It's a great little camp stove and oven.

We use it outside or in a screen house. It's warm and needs space. It's a good size unit.

great stove light enough to carry out side but at350 the front and backside get hot but it should be fine for what you are looking to do

The metal unit does get hot but haven't tried touching the door. I use the handle and that is never hot. It does not heat up surrounding areas. I have a window above the oven that I open when in use, which is pretty much every day. I really like it a lot.

The only thing that I would be concerned about is the size and weight of the unit. This is much larger than the microwave/convection in a motorhome. I have a motorhome equipped with the microwave/convection unit. This oven is much too large and heavy for that application.

No absolutely not! The outside cover would not stand up the the heat from an oven.

I love this little oven. You can do anything a big oven can do,-Just on a smaller scale. It can fit one slice of a large pizza at a time. Because there is no window, each time you open it to look inside you will lose some of the temperature you selected..but it will recover very quickly, again because of the size. I have made very good cresent rolls & buttermilk biscuits (from ready made in the cardboard roll). Make note of temp & how long you cooked the items you cook so that next time you have a reference for the "doneness" you prefer. Really good purchase.

If you are wondering if it is a separate entity, no. This stove is basically like a miniature version of one that you would have at home. I do not recall the outside of the oven getting super hot. Of course it will be a little warm to the touch. I highly recommend this for camping. I was super pleased with it, as well as everyone in our camping group.

The front doors to both ovens get pretty hot. I would not advise touching them when cooking.

Only complaint I have is that it gets very hot on the outside. Just have to be aware but the oven works very well and does a great job. I would highly recommend.

The outside does get hot as the product is stainless steel. I typically put a cutting board under the product just in case. The product did not produce enough heat to worry about heating the room versus the oven.

I don't remember the manufacturer's recommendation, but we have had our oven at 475`and 500` without any incident whatsoever. Though we have never moved it out of the oven while it is that hot. Hope this helps you out. Patricia

The exterior gets very hot to the touch. Mine is placed on a kitchen counter top and about five inches underneath the wooden cabinets. It operates here and I have no fear of fire.

I too am not a fan of using my stove in the summer. I have not found this pizza maker to be excessively hot. Also, you don't have to worry about heating the oven for a long period of time; it heats and cooks quickly.

Depends on what you are baking or cooking. My oven goes as high as 500 degrees.

You need to vent it outside so the hot air has somewhere to go. A window is the easiest.

While the oven does get hot to touch, it is safe being under the cabinets. The best part is that it does not heat up the kitchens like a conventional oven. We just purchased a second one to take to our summer home next spring.

It's pretty warm up close, just don't mount it too close to anything that might burn.

I'm not real big on reading instructions, but ... we have it about six inches from the tiled wall. The only part of the oven perimeter that gets warm is the top. They say it's for warming dishes. :>)
