i haven't found a 2 burner model.... i see lots of the 4 burner models that have been removed because of home remodels....not sure if the ceramic/glass surface is tempered... but it might be....

I have a two burner 220v. I would have to look at it to give you more info. There is a site " sailorsams.com" that sells these. I like mine. Marc

Hi Jimmci9
Try this link, I have no experience with this brand but is one consideration for me:
http://www.sailorsams.com/mall/stove_electic.asp

Also try this link:
http://www.wricointernational.com. Here you will have to send an email to Dick and Company to get information mailed/emailed to you about the princess line of electric stoves.

Another link is:
http://www.seawardproducts.com

Another link is:
http://www.gaggenauUSA.com

Hope these help. I like you have scoured the internet for electric cooktop resources and these were the only ones that would fit well in an RV that I have found. If anyone else has a resource, let us know. I plan a 110 version even though I have heard they don't work real well. I will have a convection-mirco backup.

Do you want to go to a 2 burner because of space or some other reason. We just installed an Avanti 20" 4 burner glass top range in our Eagle. We found it on E-Bay for a very good price.

what i really want is just 2 burners.. 1 electric 220volt.... and 1 propane gas...i have access to a stainless steel metal fab shop that can build anything i want.. and there's a good resteraunt supply store here in victoria also....so i could piece together anything i want...i have an over range type micro-convection oven with a vent-a-hood...and i use countertop appliances...tea maker, bread machine, slow cooker, electric wok, electric skillet, electric griddle, electric toaster oven, most of which gets packed away after each use....the outside bbq grill gets used frequently...but there are times when i need to boil water....

Harbor Freight has a two burner LP countertop unit, and
a slightly larger two burner LP model with a broiler.

Single and dual countertop electric burners are also
available... Try Home Depot, etc..

There's no reason they can't be set into a countertop recess,
side by side, or in front of one another..

With propane on board , I'm puzzled by your range top choice.

The propane is always the first choice of cooktops for folks that like to COOK!.
Not only the instant temp changes , but also the ability to have a really POWERFULL burner not usually possible with electric.
15,000 btu gets the Wok hot , or water boiling , Pronto.

The fancy Jenaire kitchen ranges use propane cook tops and electric in the oven & broiler as its EZ to regulate and few temp changes are needed.

What is your desire that has you chasing a dual setup?

Isn't it funny Jim, all these suggestions, but not one guy who is willing to tell you how to cut your ceramic cooktop in two. Must not be a popular career choice, cooktop cutting.
Surely someone has tried it (and failed).

Aside from buying a 220v cooktop, or even a 110v cooktop,
cutting it in half, etc etc... why not use a standard propane
cooktop, and the use of a electric fry pan(s), electric hot pot(s),
and other common electric 110v countertop appliances? It's
a helluva lot easier and less expensive than a burner assembly,
and you can take 'em outside, or in the house to use, as well...
