Gas Ranges

Why do RV Ranges still use a standing pilot light instead of DSI like ALL THE OTHER APPLIANCES?

    Well current 2005 Copper Canyon, has a twisty sparker for lighting. a standing pilot would be improvement!!

    I have been looking into adding a battery powered sparker, it would be push button, but better than the twist knob.

    I agree DSI would be far better!!
  • Our Dometic range is a sealed top gas burner with electric ignitors.

  • Mine does not have a standing pilot but has a button to push that creates a spark at each burner like a BBQ lighter
