We will be using our oven for the first time over Thanksgiving. I was looking at our stove/oven and I know how to light the stove burners. But I'm unclear about the oven. Is it the old fashioned way where the oven door has to be opened and then a match is placed at the pilot light?

Took me awhile to figure this out. I kept thinking what had he been eating to get his toilet to catch on fire? Now, I'm thinking you were a fire fighter and went into a home bathroom that was on fire.
Sorry for the confusion lol, I have done firefighting courses but not a firefighter. I experienced it from burning debris from tearing down a home, The toilet was amongst it and the coating flew off it in every direction.

Pizza stone or unglazed floor tiles make a wonderful heat sink to help balance the temp fluctuation's normally found in an RV oven. If you get floor tiles, be sure to get unglazed or you will be picking shards of exploded tiles up for weeks.

Also make sure the cover is off the burners if you have one, and run the fan on the vent hood/microwave. At least that is what our manual said.
This is what we do. Making sure the vent is running & you have had one of the burners on to make sure the gas has run through the line makes it easier. DH does ours. When I find him w/ his head in the oven, I wonder if he has finally decided living w/ me has done him in. ๐

Otherwise, you will have my wife's specialty for Thanksgiving...black bottom rolls.
Anyone want the recipe, just PM me. Apparently, they are easy to do since we seem to have them every Thanksgiving!
Maybe we SHOULD trade recipes as DW's black bottom rolls just aren't as good as they used to be:) :B

A tool almost as useful as a flashlight, is a 99cent store hand mirror. Lay it on the bottom of the oven and you can see where the pilot light is and if it's lit.
The mirror is also handy for looking in the back of over head cabinets and when backing the rig up, with a mirror in your hand you can reach and see more than your tow mirror plus look up and down.

From a 25 year appliance tech. I turn the oven up past pilot to about 300 or preheat temperature and light the pilot this way you have the burner lite flame on also. The main burner will not lite for around a minute normally so unless you have a major problem the main burner will not lite right off since the thermo bulb the wire below the flame needs to be red hot to open the safety valve. Been doing it this way both on home stoves with pilots and all my RVs since I learned how to do this years ago.
