Is there anyway to adjust the temperature of the oven in an Atwood RV stove? 300 degrees when set to 350. Doesn't seem to get any hotter even if I turn it up.Stan

How do you know it is 300 degrees when set @ 350?

I don't know why it doesn't go over 300 degrees. I always had to use an oven thermometer on mine because the dial was so inaccurate but it would go up to at least 400 degrees.

Standard variance is 25*FSet for 350*F and temp is OK if between 325*F & 375*FTemps in oven are sensed by Thermal Bulb held in place by a clip in back of ovenCheck that is it NOT touching any surfaces inside oven......walls or even a pan Also check for kinked capillary tubeMay need to replace oven thermostat control valve

When it's set above 350 (and won't get above 300), does the burner cycle on and off, or is it staying lit all the time?If it's not cycling, maybe there's some blocked orifice or other fault preventing it from getting enough gas or burning properly. It would make sense that it wouldn't get hotter if that's the equilibrium point when the burner is running all the time, no matter what the thermostat is set to.If it is cycling, Old-Biscuit has excellent advice.(There is often an adjustment screw on the thermostatic valve to calibrate it should it just be out by a more or less consistent amount. Alternately, one could put a new index mark on the stove at the right spot, or a new label on the control knob. Those obviously don't help the problem of it not getting hot enough.)

Set at 350 It will go to 300 according to an oven thermometer. Set at 450 for another half hour it got to 375. I then set it to Broil and it reached 500. Dropped it back down to 450 and within a short time it was back to 375. Yes it cycles on and off. Thank you for the suggestions. I will continue to check it out. We do use it but it's always been a problem, I could get biscuits done if I left them in long enough but they never browned. Stan

well your not alone. our oven is similar. My solution was to just relabel the knob with correct temperatures. Seldom need anything above 375 for baking and it will go that high pretty easily, just not per the original knob.

We use our oven every trip. Recently looked at the beautiful new Alleqro RED, and "What? No Oven?" At least on the lowly WinTasca C's and A Gassers, Oven's an option!

We use ours all the time. It is a feature that I paid for, it is a feature that I paid for, so yes we enjoy having it.

Reading here about how many (I have even known a few) don't use many features of their TTs makes me wonder why they bought one.
Some don't use the oven, microwave, shower or toilet.

Heck they could have bought a box trailer for a whole lot less money and been just as happy.

LOL :B

Certainly. Why not? :@

Our TT is our home away from home. There are times when we take in the flavor of the local restaurants and other times when we are not barbequing outdoors, we enjoy home cooked/baked meals indoors. :)

An IR thermometer works ok too. Just don't leave it in the oven!

NO the only way is to replace the theromstat..

HOW do I know this... Same problem

What did I do: I put a stickert on it "Set Thermostat 50 degrees above recipe recommendation" or words to that effect

To the person who ask "how do you know" Oven thermometer, get one at any Kitchen or hardware store. I also know how to calibrate them.

Pull off the knob and look down the control shaft to see if there is a screw slot. If so, turn the screw half a turn and see which way the temperature goes and how much. Adjust accordingly.

Or inside/backside of the knob for an adjustment.

You have been parked at the beachfront spot for a couple of days, fishing, drinking some cocktails, hanging out in the hot tub and you want a snack.....
You check the oven and your crispy chicken taquitos, pizza, Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits or even some Costco chicken pablano firecrackers are ready to munch on, you will enjoy using the oven.

Thanks, I'll give it a look in the morning.

Yes we use the oven quite a bit, just not when it's blazing hot out.
