That's what we do.  We made a solemn vow when we bought our Westy in '85 to
never fry in it.  We cook plenty, but all of the frying is done outside on a
Coleman or a small propane barbecue.  Inside gets dusty, but never greasy.
Always seems to be a fairly disgusting aspect of a used camper - someone
else's grease all over the walls, cabinets, ceiling, etc.
