I Went to cook a roast chicken in my oven for the first time... the igniter was not working and applying a lighter to the burner didn't start anything... finally we figured out
that we had to press the igniter at the same time apply flame to the burner and voila
the oven lit up... and dinner was cooking.
I also discovered that the smoke detector is also in good working order :(
When my father bought the first smoke detector for our house (many decades ago) he commented that now mother knew when the dinner was ready.
Nice to see someone using the oven for something other than another storage cabinet.
Also here is a hint for your oven: Place a ceramic tile in the oven on the tray that covers the burner. Make sure that the tile does not block the holes that allow the heat to rise into the oven. This will help to even the heat and will reduce the risk of burning the bottom of what ever you are cooking. It is particularly effective when baking cookies and cakes.
LOL thanks for the tip. My friend is the cook.. I'm the "suggester" ;) - Canadian_RainbiExplorerPut the last coat of varnish on the shelf for the new flat screen TV mount.

I also had them apply water repellant spray aquapel to the windshield. What a difference !
Got to the campground and all set up and no hot water even though the water tank was boiling and propane was firing up...
Thankfully a gentlemen said he had experience and would look at the problem.
Ended up being a valve off of the water heater (bi-pass valve) was open and should be closed... instantly I had hot water !!!!

It rained last Friday and now there are no leaks. Lucky me it worked!!!
- koda55ExplorerFueled it up and weighed it. Still putting things in their place since this is a new coach to us.
- HHg_in_AustinExplorerJust finished getting ready for our Fall road trip. Put the new registration sticker on the windshield, checked all the tires for proper inflation, cleaned the Alcoa aluminum wheels, cleaned the front windshield, checked oil levels, etc... We are ready to hit the road next week.
Hhg - SRTExplorerWinterized the motor home early this year. The weather and medical problems really cut into camping this year (only went camping once). Hopefully next year will be better.
- Canadian_RainbiExplorerFixed the windshield washers--new tubing (what a job it was finding that!) then parked it up top to wait two weeks before I park it sideways in the driveway to start loading it up for MEXICO!
