Abstract: A fold-away gas appliance for a recreational vehicle having a sidewall and an opening therein for storing the appliance. The appliance comprises a cooking unit carried on a platform which is disposed for movement between exposed and storage positions. When in the storage position, the platform is substantially flush with the sidewall of the recreational vehicle and, when in the exposed position, the platform extends substantially perpendicular to the sidewall. The cooking unit includes a gas burner in fluid communication with a gas supply through a gas supply line. A cut-off valve disposed in the gas supply line is adapted for movement between open and closed positions to establish and cut off the flow of gas to the burner. An actuator for moving the cut-off valve between open and closed positions is slidably attached to the cooking unit and generally extends between the cooking unit and the opening in the sidewall of the recreational vehicle.
