Why no ignitor on RV stove?

New to us this year, Torque toyhauler in my sig.
Camper is loaded with features but the stove has no ignitor for the burners.
Oven has typical pilot light setup.
What is the reasoning behind this? Anyone?

  • We have a 2021 Coachmen Mirada and it has an igniter that will light the burners and the oven pilot.

    Perhaps a new feature or something on “higher end” coaches?
  • Lol, me neither! But I can’t make this up.
    Just posted because I remembered when I needed a lighter in the shop and the closest one was the bbq lighter in the camper used for the stupid stove!
  • I agree that it's weird. There isn't an extra knob to spark the igniters? We've had to replace the individual igniters when they pooped out on the burners. Have you lifted the stove cover too peek and make sure?

    The oven bugs me. I don't know why you manually have to light the pilot instead of having an igniter.

    Our first toy hauler (2005 Weekend Warrior) didn't even have an oven because the factory that made some component burned down or something. I had to buy one aftermarket for my wife for Christmas a year later.

    I can't imagine why your stove wouldn't have them.
