Thumbs up

I bought a used trailer that had scorch marks on the stove top. Not being able to remove them, I decided to spray the top black with stove paint. Looks worse, of course. Anyone have or know where I could buy a used Casita stove top for a 1989 16' trailer?

How about: RV Doctor George. I've never bought anything from them, but I understand they're reasonably priced and nice people to deal with. They'll probably want to know brand and model number (and maybe dimensions) before they can help you effectively.

I am in north TX also. May be interested in your old stove if you end up replacing the whole thinga ma bobber; burners and all. My cabin is all electric and since I run off batteries for lights and LP for refrigeration I would like to go to LP for cook top too.

Ebay often has great deals on new stovetops. I saw several new two and three burner cooktops today for $41.95 plus 15.00 shipping, buy it now price, for Atwoods. Just a thought.

If what you hate is the black color, prime and paint white with appliance (heat rated) paint. My father-in-law and my father painted ranges in vacation homes that were out of date colors (turquoise and harvest gold), and the paint jobs lasted longer than the ranges.

I will try the white, the black is flat (got it for the wood stove) and looks awful. Needs to be shiny. Maybe I picked the wrong paint. I'll let you know, George if I junk the whole thing. Thanks for the info Donna, but they didn't have any stove tops, just the bottoms. I think everyone must have the same problems.

You can also have it powder coated for pretty cheap. I'm guessing around $20 last time I had one done. Looks just like factory and you can also have the range hood and furnace grilles done at the same time so they all match and have a nice brand new finish.

Just got a quote to powder coat a three burner top - $120 - $150. Yikes!

Update - Called a motorcycle customizing shop and asked for references to powder coat. Got the stove top and all the trim (side and back rails, vent piece), two colors, coated for $100. The pits from the corrosion are still visible but the coating is so thick and glossy that they are not noticeable.

Good luck

Go to EBay and look up the following seller and ask them if they have what U R looking for. They sell many camper items and have had the cook tops in the past.

Seller name: member23443

The following is a camper Item they have 4sale if you can not find them under their seller name. Item number: 300326582717


I have purchased from them B4, sent them cash and they were honest and sent me the item.
