Propane feed question

Hi, & would appreciate any help here. I have a 4 outlet propane manifold under my RV. It has a supply line coming directly from regulator valve off of Propane tank which then threads into the top of manifold & then 4 lines coming out to provide propane to appliances. At the bottom of the manifold there was a plug so I removed it to install my line to feed my outside grill. (I removed the valve from my small drill as well) I have no propane coming out my hose so can only assume the bottom threaded hole I used for supply line doesn't actually serve as another outlet feed line.? Thx anyone who has more knowledge on these manifolds than I do. I have a pic of it but don't know how to download here.

    Installation doesn't sound right!
    There should be a regulator attached to the main valve on propane tank. It drops propane to around 11-inch column of pressure. That would be somewhere around 1/2 pound. This would provide propane to normal RV appliances.
    Many grills have a regulator build on to them. This would require full tank pressure or the grill regulator to be removed.
    My guess is the "manifold" is a connection point for all the RV appliances such as water heater, refer, furnace and stove.
