Just asking - I thought these auto-shutoff systems had been gone since, um, 2005 give or take?

I thought I read that somewhere.
Am I mistaken?

Forest River still uses the Auto/ electric solenoid LP systems. MOST RV makers stopped using them because of failures of the system. But if you get a trickle of LP that means the solenoid is opening. IF the LP appliance is in a slide room the possibility is the rubber LP feed line may be pinched because it was not installed correctly. THAT usually causes this type problem. Doug

Hadn't heard that. Even so, worth a check. Some manufacturers go against the trends sometimes.

Down near the floor in the kitchen is an electronic propane gas detector. If it's turned off, like if someone clipped the Off/On switch with the vacuum cleaner for instance, you won't have gas.

As others have said, make sure the tank valve is on too. And that there's propane in there.

Seeing as it's a new 2015 MH propane tank.

First......did they have the propane tank purged/filled?
Have they checked that the 'vapor service valve' is fully OPEN
IF already open then fully close wait couple minutes and then SLOWLY open

Do they have a shut-off solenoid and is DC power on the LP Detector (Green light on)?

OPD valve. Go outside, close the main valve, wait 5 minutes and slowly open the valve. With a gas match, go inside, turn on a stove burner and try lighting it.
BTW IS SHE POSITIVE there is actually any gas in the tank?
