- Thanks for all the replys. Evidently the last guy that tried to fill it didn't know how. Just had it filled ,it was empty. Everything is working. Thanks

Do you actually have gas in the tank? Is the valve open? Go back and close the valve, wait about a minute and slowly open the valve, then go tey lighting a stove top burner.
Along with closing and reopening the valve slowly, it is important that all the gas appliances be turned off. Pressure has to build up in the line before the safety feature of the tank valve will open all the way. Open the valve, wait a minute and then try lighting an appliance.- Yes, the solenoid would have two wires going into it.
You can test the solenoid by using an Ohm meter. Disconnect one wire, test the solenoid coil for resistance between the two wires. The witre coming from the sensor should have 12 volts, the other side is connect to ground. Should be two wires on the ground side one to each of the battery systems. - No it wasn't. If I take off the fill cap and push in on the valve, would propane come out?
- There is a fitting on the tank with 2 wires going to it. Could that be solenoid?
- Got battery shutoff working but still no propane. Took line loose going to hw tank and no propane. cant seem to find solenoid. on regulater there is a white cap that looks like it could unscrew.
- The sensor is on . Its hooked up to elect. I can hear the clicking of of igniter for a few seconds but that's all. The wall gauges show empty so I took it to get it filled and they said they could only put a gal. in it. There is a battery shutoff switch on inside of coach but doesn't seem to work. Ithas worked the only time ive used it but it quit. Will look for solenoid.
- I'd bet bad regulator
- Could the regulator be bad? Are you getting propane past it?
- If that doesn't work, I wonder if having the LP gas tank completely purged and then refilled should do the trick.
I'd probably guess it is a solenoid issue, if there are electrical problems as mentioned above, but it can't hurt to see if emptying completely and refilling the tank would help.
