RV troubleshooting... head scratcher

[Smokeater]

Seems like there is some kind of safety valve in the system that can go bad

Been a while since we had an RV

Yep, the surge shut-offs. Turning on the gas bottle with the burners turned on can activate them too. Had some that were basically new get stuck on a friends cook trailer and had to replace.

It’s covered and flawless. No dry rotting

Guess I’ll replace regulator first. Just hate changing parts to find a problem

Hook a gauge up to the regulator, should be showing a little bit of pressure.

Or, leave bottles open, unhook the gas line in the camper, should be somwhere in the side panel I think? You should hear gas hissing out, if it’s getting there. If it is, your tanks and regulator are good, and maybe some slight blockage.

Do RV lines have check valves? If so could be that somewhere down the line. But you can check regulator very simple without replacing it first.

Sounds like the flow checks in the tanks could be going bad. Close the valves and listen should be able to here them open back up. Then open the valves up very slowly.

If I hook up tanks. Turn em in. Then turn em off and unhook I get the short propane burst that’s common

Just stopped by house and checked again. Stove wouldn’t light. Turned on furnace... it lit. Then stove lit. Turned on fridge to propane. It’s working

No telling if Jebadia got something in the lines or not.

I was going to say it’s the thermo couple in the oven until this little development.

No idea now

Regulator

[CabezaBlanca]

The regulator is not coming off seat for the small demand of the stove. It takes the large demand of the furnace to get it to lift. The regulator is bad.

Looks to me like you need to go get that regulator.
