Forgive me if this has been asked before but has anyone upgraded their cooktop? We have an Atwood 3-burner and would like to upgrade to a better model. I have looked on line but not much selection out there. We are getting ready to do some upgrades and would like to change the cooktop at the same time.

Thanks

There is not a lot of choice out there it you want it to fit in the cutout for the Atwood. We went with a Verona two burner and are very pleased with the performance. It did require a custom Al plate to adapt the Verona.

We have a 2-burner Gaggenau with electric ignition. It isn't cheap, but it is a nice cooktop. I'm sure it won't fit the Atwood cutout, either.

We changed from a cooktop to a range. Had to remove the drawer below the cooktop and slid it in.

There are some youtube videos on range installation. Very simple to do.

I was afraid that the choices are few. I appreciate the suggestions.

I have heard that some people are putting in induction cook tops. They require that you cook with induction pots and pans.
