First off.......
Are both propane cylinders on same side or are they separate....one on each side of rig?
If opposite sides then deal with one on curbside where regulator is until you get it working (Roadside has an addition RED REG that can cause problems also)
With both cylinders valved out...turn black lever on REG towards a cylinder then slowly open that cylinder service valve.
Does the RED/GREEN Indicator on REG turn GREEN?
IF yes....then turn on a stove top burner (High) and light it.
May take a little bit due to having to establish propane flow
IF RED/GREEN Indicator does NOT turn GREEN........opened cylinder valve to FAST and tripped 'excess flow' inside the big green ACME nut
OR the ACME nut/pigtail hose is bad and needs replaced.
FYI.....that reg (253H) is a very high capacity flow (350,000btu/flow rating)
The 253 would have been a better match (225,000btu/flow rating)
Didn't your Cooper Canyon come with 30# propane cylinders?
