Oven won't stay lit
Putting this in the General section because I figure all Jayco's have roughly the same oven.
This past weekend, we had a casserole to cook, so the wife went in and lit the oven and put the food in. Checked it a few minutes later, and it was out. Lit it again and walked away. Few minutes later, out again. We did this five or six times before moving our food to our friends trailer. Their oven was the same, but worked great.
The pilot light lit fine every time, and then the oven itself would come on when we turned the knob; after a few minutes though, it was out. The last time I tried, every time I turned the oven on, it would blow out the pilot light.
Any ideas? FYI, the stove worked just fine, as did the fridge when running on gas.

I'm guessing you checked the gas level.
Will the stove top burn? All elements at the same time?
Water heater OK?
Fridge on gas OK?
Furnace?
If the other gas appliances seem fine then I'd bet something to do with the thermocouple control.

All other gas appliances seemed to be working fine, but I was plugged in and running on full electricity, so I wasn't using any. I did light the stove though and confirmed that it lit up fast and ran for a few seconds before turning it off.

That would be my guess as well. If it does not stay hot enough it will not remain lit.

I guess I'll be hauling it in to the dealer the next time I have it hooked up. Thankfully it's still under warranty, and this is the first issue I've had with it, so it's not all bad.

Let me just add that whenever I have seen this problem on ovens, water heaters, gas fireplaces, etc., it was always the thermocouple.

Is this an easy/cheap item to replace? If so, I'd rather do it myself than take it back to the dealer as it's a hassle to pull out of storage.

I haven't seen it on the TT but it's usually just a threaded nut that holds it in place. Once removed, you simply lift it out, insert the new one and tighten it back up.

Can't speak to replacing one on our ovens. I've done it on the household water heater before and it's no biggie.
Check the position of the thermocouple and pilot light. The thermo will keep the gas on only if the pilot keeps it hot enough (assuming it works at all).
The problem could also be with the pilot valve.
I suspect Jayco would have a cow (read: affect your warranty) if they knew you did a DIY.
That said, they were very accommodating in replacing the radio/DVD/CD player by sending me a replacement directly.

Sometimes a thermocouple just needs rubbed witl a little 220 sand paper to clean it up

You do have to hold the button in for a while to let the thremocouple heat up. If you don't the fire will go out.

Did that each time. The pilot would stay lit if I left it just on pilot. At first when I turned the over on, it would light, but then when I checked it later, everything was out. Then the last time I tried it, all that would happen is the pilot would blow out when I tried to turn the oven on (even though the pilot had been lit for 10 minutes).

Watch the thermocouple when the pilot is lit and then turn on the oven and look at the flame. One thought is that when the oven is running, not enough flame is getting to it? Since it is staying lit with just the pilot, it may not be a bad thermocouple but a simple adjustment?

That's a thought. Try moving thermocouple more over flame or adjusting pilot a little higher.

Same Problem
I have a 365 BHS 2010 and my oven is doing the exact problem. You light the pilot and oven will stay on for 5-10 minutes. You open the door and the oven is not on. I have re-lite the oven at least 30 times to cook Thanksgiving Turkey in the oven. My propane tanks are full and I even switched the tanks. Taking in to dealer for warranty work this weekend.

Are these Atwood stoves with the oven issues or Suburban?

Let me know what happens at the dealer.
As far as what kind of stove it is, I am not sure. I'll check this weekend when I go out to the camper to drop off some stuff.

I think the only adjustment is to move things around a bit. The weak flame is a good point to check. When the main burner valve opens there will be a "puff" as the gas starts flowing. If the pilot flame is weak it could get blown out before igniting the gas.
I'd monkey around with it before hauling it to the dealer - I don't like anyone else working on my cars either. That's just me tho.

Same Problem
The flame on the pilot light is not weak and the stove works fine. I have several problems needing repair on my camper. The camper is still under warranty, so let them fix it.
