From what I am reading here my guess is the fuel pressure regulator. They get gummed up with oil that is dropped in the regulator as propane passes thru over time. Remove, disassemble and cleanup.

Will try this today. I cut off the LP and burned off what would burn on the stove. How much LP should I expect when I unhook the fuel line?
I had this same issue with mine. It was all gummed up inside with the oil that's in the propane. I had it repaired rather than do it myself. Not that it's not doable but mine wasn't on a slide out so it was gonna be a PITA. Once I got it going and back to normal I moved the feed line to the regulator from the LIQUID port to the VAPOR port. This will stop the oiling issue. I believe it is an Onan recommendation. Worked for me.
