Hey Y'all,
First post on the site. I purchased a 68 Shasta compact about a year ago and have been renovating it over the past year to get ready for a 3 month trip across the US which I am currently on. The camper "the brave little toaster" has an old Holiday 3 burner stove and with a small oven below. When I bought the camper I was told the oven worked as well as the fridge. Fridge doesn't work, but I was able to get the oven to cut on. A few months have passed now since I had the old copper propane lines redone and we have embarked on our trip. Since we left home we have used the stove top several times with no problems whatsoever. However, today we tried to light the stove and it won't cut on. Now I'm pretty new to camper ownership and I could be doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what it would be. The pilot light comes on just fine with a stick lighter and actually grows in size when I cut the thermostat on to start the oven. Like I said previously, the stove had worked a few months back and now nothing. Can't even light it with a match directly to the burner. It seems that gas isn't making it to the burner in the oven at all. I'll post some pictures so you guys can see what I'm working with. Let me know if you guys have any clue what could be up. My wife is quite sad she can't bake warm cookies in the cold Colorado mountains. Thanks a lot I appreciate your time and advice.
