Simple sourdough procedure for camping?

I've been making bread while camping for quite a while -- flour, water, salt, commercial yeast, proof, rise a couple times, shape and bake. It's dependable and fun. But I want to expand the flavor - and challenge - and start making sourdough bread. Commercial bakers, and ambitious home bakers have evolves pretty complex multistage processes which require careful temperature control pretty much all along the way, so the limited tools and lack of temperature control while camping present extra challenges.

Coleman Instastart propane camping oven

I was wondering if anyone has experience with this oven. At home, I bake two to three times per week. Right now, I'm traveling across America in an RV that doesn't have an oven. I'm really starting to miss baking my own bread.

I think Coleman came out with this oven last year and I haven't been able to find a lot of reviews -- and none that cover baking bread. This is certainly the opposite of a super-precise commercial oven with steam control -- but I'm willing to accept some imperfect bread instead of store-bought bread.
