RV Repair: wedgewood oven, golden falcon, happy camping


Question
i bought a 1977 19ft pull with a truck camper.  (golden falcon) . it has a wedgewood oven. the burners on top work fine, i cant get the oven to light up or work, it dont look like its ever been used. am i missing a safety switch somewere, or whats going on?

2nd question, the guy i got this from said the heater works but wont cut off, what do i need to replace?    heater as in keeps you warm on cold nights.   thank you for any help. Don

Answer
Don,
   To light your oven all you should have to is turn the oven knob to broil and hold a stove lighter (grill lighter) just above the pilot assembly right next to the main burner in the oven.  This may take a few minutes if it hasn't been lit in a while.  After it lights turn the knob back to pilot on or whatever temp you want if your going to cook.  If it doesn't light you could have a dirty pilot assembly, or bad thermostat.  As for your furnace, if it lights and comes on but won't shut off I would have to guess the thermostat is also bad on it.  If you need anything else on either of these please give me the model #'s and I will have a better idea of what to have you check.  I hope this helps good luck and happy camping.
