10 mins sounds like a long time. Can you confirm that a functioning system will not run a stove for 10 minutes?
11-14WC is about 0.5psi in the line. It should run some with the tank off, but 10 mins sounds like more than enough time to drain out the lines. Also a variable is how many feet of propane plumbing there is to pull from.
When you open the propane compartment it should smell. If on a trailer outside, then it will be hard to detect a smell if leaking.
Without the stove test, I would consider a leak in the line somewhere also, the gen would have the same effect.
Hopefully it is your tank or the hose/fitting that it connects to, or the regulator as these are easy to replace.
1. The stove is almost straight above the tank. So the line is going to be very short
2. Dont smell anything - but - as this is an AMSE tank and there is no floor under the tank and if anything was leaking, the propane would fall to the ground and disapate.

Sorry to ask the obvious, but you don’t have two valve do you? One liquid for the genset, one vapor, or two vapor.
there is a fill valve, an overflow valve and a valve that leads to the pressure regulator that leads into the RV
