Rockwood Roo 233S suburban stove
We continue to have issues keeping the oven lit. Gas is running to the stove as the stove burners light. Not sure what the issue is?

I thought that the pilot light needed to be lit to light the burners; however, we discovered that we could light the burners with a match. Would rather not do that. But the igniter doesn't work without the pilot lit.

As far as I know, the Suburban stoves in Roo/Shamrock hybrids, don't have igniters for the burners nor the oven.
Both require a lighter.
The oven requires the pilot light to be lit, before the oven burner will light.
You have to push in the oven knob to light the pilot. You have to keep holding it in for awhile. Then you can turn the knob to light the oven burner.
The oven pilot light doesn't light the stove top burners.

Agree with Dan about the oven, but our 2011 233s does have an igniter for the burners. It looks just like one of the control nobs for the burners. Turn it to spark, and surprisingly enough, it actually works pretty well.

If you mean the oven pilot, then no. The igniter for the stove top burners works fine without the oven pilot lit.

Well, nice to see that they've including the sparking knob on Suburbans.
My older Roo didn't have it but my new TT has an Atwood which does have it.
The pilot light in the oven has NOTHING to do with the stove burners.
It is only for the oven and has to be lit manually,.
Have you read the manual?

As a matter of fact I did read it over and over. I thought it said the pilot needed lit to light the burners. I apparently have misread it. Good to know that we don't need the pilot lit first. We are new camper owners as we have always tent camped before.

To light the oven, it is best to use 2 people, first, make sure you have the propane filled and try out your top burners first, if they work then there will be propane to the oven.
Now open your oven door and put your oven dial on pilot, get your lighter stick and put it right under the pilot light orfice inside your oven, it should be in the center ceiling inside the oven. Have somebody hold the pilot oven dial in while you light the pilot light inside the oven. After the pilot light lights and 60 seconds pass, you can let go of the pilot light knob, now the pilot light should stay lit the whole time you are camping, I leave mine on until it's time to go home.
Good luck
