Troll? Just kidding, and only because I just finished reading your other post of the night.
The reason a electric range has a "Broil" setting is to shut off the lower heating element and turn on the upper heating element. There is no heat cut-off for the broiler setting to my knowledge, but it might have a safety cut-off around 400 - 500F.
In a gas range - including my RV, the oven can be set to 400F and even higher up the dial is "Broil" - I am guessing that means the burner will not shut off until the oven is scorching hot, so if you happen to like your steak really well broiled, the flame will stay on for a really long time without cutting out once the oven is warm.
The only thing I have ever broiled in my RV oven is sourdough toast, already buttered, it comes out great. However in the home range, I have cooked a steak once. Most of the time I prefer the BBQ.
I don't think I would own a RV without a oven.
