Looking for help in figuring out why my Oven don't work?
Everything in my TC works great except for the Oven & I'm looking for some basic help on what to look for in figuring out why it may not be working? I know nothing about Ovens..

I'm assuming yours is a pretty standard gas oven for RV's. Mine is very difficult to start also. It actually takes 2 of us to start it.
Turn your oven knob on to the pilot and press the knob IN. At the same time, you need to hold flame (barbecue lighter works well) on the pilot (gas) spot in the oven. Reason it takes 2 people for mine is because I can't reach the knob and hold it in at the same time I'm reaching clear inside the oven, near the back on the bottom, to hold the flame.
Once the element get's hot, it will light. You can then let go of the knob and the pilot light will stay lit (hopefully). If it fails, repeat, repeat, repeat.
I have found that my oven pilot will not start right either. So after a few seconds of holding the flame with the barbecue lighter, keep pushing in the knob and turn the oven on. The flame will start to shoot down the burner. When you are finished with the oven, the pilot will stay lit, unless you turn the knob completely off.
We use our oven very seldom, but when we do, it's always a 2 person job, and can never get the pilot to stay on until the burner has started.
