Stove top not getting gas

Have been getting our 1994 Jamboree ready for a short camping trip and noticed the stove top and oven are not getting gas. It's as if the gas is turned off. Refrigerator is doing fine on gas right now. Light meter inside and meter at the tank show open and show 3/4 tank. Any ideas?

    Love this forum. Thanks J.D. Opened the gas line at the stove top, shot air in both directions, closed it up and --- it works!!!

    From my understanding, the LPG system is supposed to operate at 11-inches of water column on a manometer. As a guess, that pressure is close or your other appliances wouldn't work as well as they do.
    But... I thought I noticed, and just checked to be sure, our stove has its own regulator as well. Stove is Wedgewood (Atwood) and the regulator's under the cooktop cover.

    You may also want to check the line for a blockage, sometimes spiders build webs that won't let the gas pass through. Hopefully it is something simple.

    On a TT I had, there was a small gas valve under the stove top where the gas line attaches. If so equipped, yours may be off.
