Our Winnie Navion has both a built-in induction cooktop and a single propane burner, no gas oven, and a convection-microwave. The RV has solar panels, 30A controller, lithium batteries, and a 2000w inverter-charger that can run all those appliances, but not the AC.
So, when we are dry camping in the Colorado mountains, where we don't need the AC and have more than enough sun, all those 120v electric appliances, as well as the 12v systems (lights, 12v fridge, water pump, furnace, Truma water heater, etc.) are available when needed. But due to their amp-load, the cooktop and microwave can't be run at the same time. And keep in mind that any pan or skillet used on the cooktop must be magnetic, which eliminates aluminum, copper, and most stainless steel.
However, we just returned from a month-long trip to the SE. Requiring AC 24/7 in that heat and humidity meant electrical hookups every night. We used the induction and conv-micro every day, but seldom used the gas burner--too much added heat and humidity.
My suggestion would be to replace the microwave with a convection-microwave first. Use it by itself long enough to really get comfortable with it and not have to rely on the gas oven. Then buy a portable induction cooktop for $80-100 and use it instead of the gas stove, which is what we did in our fifth wheel because we used it for seasonal FHU RV resort snowbirding south of I-10. If you are comfortable with both the conv-micro and induction "burner", then consider replacing the gas range with just a 2-3 burner induction cooktop. If you feel you still a conventional electric oven, build a shelf below the cooktop for an inexpensive toaster oven. That combination should allow you to cook everything but the Thanksgiving turkey. Like we did at Thanksgiving, you may have to settle for a turkey breast and not a 20# bird!
