12V Portable Marine Oven

WOW An Awesome 12v Oven

WOW An Awesome 12v Oven That Adds More Options To The Menu Pf The Gypsies Of Vagabond

We are using this oven running off 2 x 100AH AGM Batteries in a stationary Black Patron Camper Trailer, with a 300 watt solar panel with 20 amp regulator and when required (cloudy day, etc) have on the 240v trickler/ac charger (just in case), We had to use a 3 meter twin sheath 6B&S cable containing a quality anderson plug, 30 amp fuse and battery lugs. The shorter the cable the better the performance.

We also purchased three stainless steel oven trays 1 x 80mm high and 2 x 40mm high from Rory and Lauren Somerville - Somerville MetalWorks - 0479 108673 - ABN 26858780691 for $132.65 delivered to Mittagong NSW from Pakenham Victoria. These trays are excellent quality/workmanship with a great finish. You have to have lots of patience using this 12v oven because you have to move food from back to front and top to bottom and turn over where possible and cam take anywhere between 1.5 hrs and 3 hrs to make cakes, biscuits, pies, baked potatoes or veges, crispy or not, stews, roasts, casseroles, etc. Once we upgrade our batteries to lithium 200+AH batteries and put in a battery management system + 3000w inverter, 40 amp to 60 amp dc to dc charger and trickler/ac charger, the performance on this 12v oven should improve. We are still experimenting.

We first started using a basic 3 meter cable with anderson, fuse and lugs but the oven wasn't working well, took a king time to warm up and didn't get hot enough. So we upgraded the cable to the one mentioned near the beginning of this review and the oven now works so much better and heats up much faster to 200F. We will post another review in the next month or so once we have experienced what this new 6B&S cable is delivering to this 12v oven.

Also, if you need to find someone who can make you high quality 12v cables contact Big Al - he is in Mount Gambier South Australia. Big Al's Import and Trading ABN 85 609 236 776. His 12v connectors, cables, etc, are the best you can get, top of the range and his prices are very good too (fair).

Great unit if I can trust it..

Used for 3 days in my truck.. Then I stopped and started to heat my meal while I did paperwork and smoke started coming out of the rear. I called the maker who said I must have plugged into 25V i/o 12V. It was in 12V...they said to return it. I did so only for them to tell me the unit is fine.. No explanation for smoke coming out of it.. It has now been returned. I'll take it out on the road again but will be watching it extremely closely. If it happens again I'll be asking for a refund as I cannot risk a fire in my truck!!!!

G'day Dale,

That's really strange (and a major concern). If it happens again, please submit a warranty claim as soon as you can. We'll get in touch with the manufacturer on your behalf.

Cheers, Laine

Travel buddy marine, best buy for camping and 4wding

Bought in early December, received in april due to high demand and was told of the delay as soon as they knew. Everyone after that would of bought it as backorder and delayed, as the site was updated accordingly, don't know why the above customer has an issue. Other shops had them in stock for more because they knew there was no stock, so either wait and save money on the cheaper snowys price or buy it elsewhere for more. First use was a slow 4 hour road trip slow roast beef ribs from coles. Meat absolutely fell apart with our forks. Have used it many times since from heating pizza pockets, Brazilian cheese puffs and lasagne. Biggest issue is having good food aroma lingering for days after making you starve whilst doing errands. Buy local and support the original as there's now another brand which is an exact copy. Great quality as soon as you open up the box. Huge thank you to snowys for great customer service throughout the whole process will definitely be buying more things from you guys in the future.

Ring customer earlier on delays with orders

Ordered Our Travel Buddy back in January It finally arrived last week well packaged quick delivery once despatched. A very popular item. The only fault in the service slow in notifying the customer on delays with the item. Prices are great yes I would recommend Snowys

Thanks for the feedback, Darrell.

We're working closely with Travel Buddy to reduce wait times and provide up-to-date communication on supply. It's still a work-in-progress but we're getting better!

Cheers,
