Propane low pressure?

On larger propane systems like in a motorhome or TT it is VERY easy to cause the excessive flow limiting device in the propane pigtail to set. It will still allow a little flow but cause issues like you are experiencing. To reset the excessive flow device turn off all appliances, then turn off the tank and wait for at least 30 seconds. Then very slowly reopen the tank valve. If that doesn't work my next guess would also be regulator.

Just had a propane regulator replaced. Had low pressure and low heat. Worth getting checked out.

1 cubic foot of propane has 2X the btu content as natural gas....propane/2516 BTU & naturak gas/1030 BTU

Picture is worth a thousand words.

Should have asked how the water heater is working on propane. Does it have a good burner color and is efficient?

Bang on that regulator and see if it gets better. Don't smash it but I've had to tap mine because it was stuck.

Get your regulator checked. Mine was low and acted the same. Good luck.

I'd say you have something wrong. You should have the exact opposite problem !

I always have to turn burners way down when I cook with propane. In fact, trying to simmer something at a minimal boil with the lid on a pan and the burner at it's lowest setting is downright difficult.

MH valves have not been an issue.
Verify flow as suggested earlier.
Odds are bad regulator.

I solved the issue by getting a nice big inverter. I use a NuWave induction cooker.

Trailers have the funny valves that must be turned on slowly.

It is a motorhome
