Freedom express stove/ grill swap

DW and I are picking up our 2016 freedom express 320bhds Liberty edition in 2-3 weeks after an unsuccessful PDI yesterday (2/20/16). I didn't realize that the outside kitchen had a grill not a stove. Has anybody swapped the grill out for a stove?
Did you do any other modifications to the camper? Really dislike the white switches and outlets so that will be the first thing to go.

IN ours there was a small stove. As we already have a larger stove, I chose to remove it and replace it with another drawer.

Awesome thanks. Hopefully the dealer gets the PDI issues we found fixed and we can pick it up and go camping

We just bought a chaparral 371mbrb about a month ago was freezing when we did the walk thru so we took it home and then found issues so it's back there almost done just waiting on a cabinet door.

Great idea. The grill that came in the outdoor kitchen on our 310bhds was junk. We always bring a Weber 2200 along anyway (sits on bathroom floor when traveling). I'll look to replace old grill with stovetop unit. Thank you!

I agree we just used it for the first time. Does anyone know of a replacement grill that would fit in that same location drawer?

Yes, it's not the sturdiest grill ever made but it works ok. The one thing I really do not like about it is that it uses those small green propane bottles. I bought an adapter hose and pressure regulator so I can use it with a full size propane tank.

My 310BHDS also had the grill in the outside kitchen. First thing to go, gave it to my son. After removing the grill I made a drawer to fit the drawer slide units. All of my outside cooking is done over an open campfire. Others have told me that when they used the grill of the outside kitchen grease from the smoke would build up on the inside of the kitchen door.
