Title says it all. Do I need to ru my fan while the oven is on like I do with the stove tops?

Not unless you burn stuff in oven.
Don't really need to run it using stove top burners
They make more noise then move air....some just vent back into inside area vs venting outside
Is it time for your medication or mine?

In our Grand Design Reflection there isn't any exhaust fan of either kind. We do have a small window at the back of the stovetop and a max air fan in the ceiling close to where the stove/oven is but that's it. So I don't think it's necessary to use yours. We did change out our smoke detectors though as the original ones installed were going off constantly. They would even go off when making toast when there was no visible smoke. They were ionization smoke detectors and we switched them out with the photoelectric type and they don't go off from cooking anymore unless we truly have smoke in the RV.

Since we dry camp most of the time, we don't have ability to run the fan, so I either crack open a window in the kitchen or if the weather is good, I open the door. I do both always, when cooking whether stove top or oven.
We also found that the toaster (or most any kind of cooking), sets off the alarm, but opted to take back the toaster since we could only use it when hooked up, which rarely happens, and running the generator for the toaster is not worth it. Instead we placed a small fan on the shelf near the alarm and run it when cooking.

In RV's wouldn't it be safer to use an ionization type smoke detectors especially since RV's burn faster?

The light and the fan on the range hood work on 12v, so it should work just fine even when boondocking.
For the OP, you only "need" to run the fan to exhaust smoke or odors, same as you would at home.

Someone smarter than me should probably answer that question but in my case, the smoke detector still goes off quickly if there's any smoke from cooking. So now, instead of going off EVERY time we cook, it only goes off if we burn something.

I'm a dry camper and run my Fantastic fans all the time but I never run the noisy stove hood fan. I cook mostly during daylight and the small draw of the fans is replaced by my solar panels.

Our light and fan is in the over the range microwave and hence not 12V.

Makes sense. Thanks.
