Our latest travel trailer is perfect in just about every way, except for the oven. Everything I bake burns to a nice black crisp on the bottom before the top even gets a chance to start baking. I've moved the rack up and down, and that doesn't seem to help. Do you think my temperature is off? Is there some way to distribute the heat better? We haven't had this problem in any of our other four RV's, and we don't like camping without our blueberry muffins, cinnamon rolls, and chocolate chip cookies! Thanks in advance for any advice.

Sometimes it is not that the oven is to hot but that the heat does not distribute evenly. I have had a similar experience with a oven and havehad to use a second small cookie sheet under the first cooking item I was using. You could also get a small one just to go over the burner area to help distribute then heat more evenly throughout the oven. A good oven thermometer would also help to see if and how much the temperature is off. may just need to adjust the oven or remeber how much the oven is off.

Try placing some NON-GLAZED Ceramic Tiles in the oven above the heating rack, below the wire rack where you cook. They work miracles! Evens out the heat so food won't burn.

It works!

A cookie sheet has worked for us.

A baking stone or unglazed tile seems to be the answer. For a greater discussion see: http://www.tiffinrvnetwork.com/forum...highlight=oven
If it works, I like toll house cookies
