Oven cake burning on bottom
Easy fix to even out oven temps.
Go to Lowes,or HD and get a 12"X12+ terracotta tile,place it on bottom of oven.
Evens out heat.

You are placing it just below the grill and above the flame?

Yes, where are you placing the tile? Do you put it under your baking pan? Last weekend I decided to use our oven for the first time (this is our 3rd year with a trailer and we never once used the oven!) I found these nifty disposable baking dishes and thought how cool it would be to have brownies while camping. It said they could be used up to 450 degrees so I figured no problem not even giving thought to there being a flame. Well the middle of the pan that was right above the flame completely melted! My husband mentioned putting some sort of plate in there to even out the heat. Never really gave though to terracotta!

glad to see my wife isn't the only one baking while camping. a few times she ran out of time during the week and had to have something ready by sunday night when we got home. i did take notice that things tended to not be even (but i dare not say anything) i bet i could do this and she wouldn't even know. heck she need's me to get the thing started. thanks for the advice.

Great Idea, my wife loves to bake apple crisp when we go camping and hunting it always turns out great and on the cold nights it even better. Can't wait to try this in our unit. The wife does us glass I think pirex (sp?) when she uses the oven camping turns out great.

Remember to add a few minutes to the cooking time if you place a 12"x12" ceramic tile in the oven.

I've placed my tiles directly on the heat distribution grate in the oven. I used 4 pcs and I think they are 6" square. This leaves a few spaces so that the grate is not completely blocked. On top of this my wife uses stoneware for baking for more even cooking. She has stoneware of every shape and size.

Careful of the tile you use
I put "Oven Tiles" on my to-do list and actually had that list with me this weekend at HD and Lowe's. I looked at the tiles, but neither had any terra cotta tiles. But something did occur to me while in the "tile department"!
Scott, and others, are using the correct tile - Pizza Stone or Tile! Other tiles that are used for flooring/walls/etc. should probably not be used even if they are porcelain. In the glaze or the components of the tile, there might be lead, chromium, or other materials used that are allowed in construction materials, but which might not be a good idea to use in ovens containing food products!
I did find some "Personalized Pizza Tiles" that are 6"x6" at BB&B and Amazon that appear to be a much better choice than the Sand Rose porcelain I originally picked out!

We bought a piece of flat stoneware from Pampered Chef.. if fits perfectly over the metal plate just over the burner. My wife has used the oven in the camper for anything we would use it home for. She has made some real nice cakes in our camper oven. I measured that oven 3 times to get the right sized stoneware. She has different sizes in the house and we use the pizza stone a lot. I have been baking my bread/biscuits in the stoneware with small sides. Like a baking dish? we also have a stoneware cooking dish with a lid. Works in microwave or oven. All this talk and typing is making me hungry for some camping style food..
I hope I can make it 6 more weeks until I get to camp..

I tried the cheap route with a $1.30 saltillo floor tile from Home Depot. Tested the oven at 350 and the tile cracked. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised since the tile wasn’t fired – just sun-dried. So I ordered a pizza stone from Amazon. I’m just hoping it’s not *really* 12 feet by 15 feet. The floor of my oven isn’t so flat and I’m worried about it cracking due to stress, so I’m tempted to put it on the oven rack at first and then set it on the oven floor when I have enough pre-trip time to order a replacement should this one break.

We bought a pizza stone at Target and it has worked great. We bought the largest one that would fit in the oven, and even though it is round instead of square and doesn't fit like a custom made job; it works just the same.
Going camping this weekend. So maybe will bake something again.

Pizza Stones
Works great...designed to take the heat and distribute it evenly. Same principle as that Chevy Chase movie where he visits his nutty cousin living in the desert of Arizona in the summer and he throws steaks on a hot boulder to cook
BTW I am in AZ and it's going to be 78-80 and SUN for the next 2 weeks! Ohhh, I checked my AC, we are good to go!

Hmmm CD, "Lucky you"
Our 10 day forcast calls for a high of 34 (today) and the low is 14... After today, the high for the next 10 days is 31. Looks like we've finally got winter <sigh> They predict the biggest snowfall of the season later this week.... So...I guess the trailer will stay inside for another few weeks at least... Last year it was the end of April before we took the cover off, and even then, we wound up with about 6" on the roof before the first trip. MAYBE we'll be able to head out fishing with the boat and trailer by Memorial Day... That's opening weekend for bass. In years past, we've had to chip ice off the boat ramp to get the boat in the water for opening day, I hope this year is different
Enjoy your 55
