I just did a test on my Atwood oven.
Left pilot on, went outside and turned off gas. Pilot burned for a few minutes then extinguished. No gas smell. Turned gas back on. Immediate strong gas smell in the oven.
So, I guess that means the thermocouple doesn't work or never existed in the first place.
What Year Model RV? Yes, your thermocoupler is not working or you have a OLD Oven/range. Almost all Oven's you have to put the temp knob in the Pilot indent,PUSH the knob IN and light the pilot. Once the pilot is lit, hold the knob in(30 seconds) and release and the pilot should stay lit. Now, to your test. You shut the LP OFF, Then went out. You then turned the LP back on and smelled gas. A few minutes can be subjective. Maybe less than a minute? Once the Pilot goes out, it takes a few seconds for the Thermocoupler to cool down and shut on the Pilot tube of the Oven tstat. What I would do, is, do your test. Wait 5 minutes. Turn on the LP and then spray soapy water on the pilot burner and see if you have bubbles. Do not rely on your smell. If you are positive you have a LP smell and it is leaking after your test, you have a dangerous situation and you need to fix it. Doug
