It sounds like the flame supervision device (FSD/thermocouple) has packed up.
It's hard to find oven spares online for caravans and it looks like the Maxol brand have all but vanished. The central heating side appears to be run by Halstead.
I would try a local caravan service agent for advice on spares or a friendly gas engineer. I've checked my list of manufacturers contact numbers and can't find a reference to Maxol cookers (i'm a gas eng).
I'll check the instruction books for my caravan as I have maxol gear installed but I can't quite remember which oven it is. There may be a number on the manual which may be worth a ring for parts. |

Thermocouples do tend to be universal in application, I'd google the question.
