Well………..I thought I did answer your question about circuits.
Let me try another way, with a little more electricity basics. 110 V consists of a hot leg, neutral leg, and ground for safety. The ground for AC is way different in function than the ground for a DC circuit.
220 that we have on our coaches and in your house is two hot legs, black and red. The legs are out of phase in the alternating current flow.
Now, if you take one of those legs in the 220 to neutral, you have 110.
That is why I said to look carefully at the wiring diagram of any stovetop you buy. If it has only two hot legs and no neutral, then it is pure 220. It is has two hot legs and a neutral, then it MAY be that it is actually two 110 V circuits.
After all, the usual application for the stovetop is going to be in a home that would normally be wired for a 220V cooktop.
So…………you have the cooktop out of your coach. How many wires and what colors were wired to the cooktop? The answer to that will tell you whether you can split the wiring at the cooktop into 2 110 circuits without pulling more wiring.
