The refrigerator and furnace work fine, I believe the stove issue is part 51062, the stove regulator ($50 item). Part replacement seems problematic: out of stock or has quality control issues.
I brought my RV in for service today, providing the above info.
If a $50 replacement part is not an option, what options might I have? Replace the top assembly of the stove for $$$ ?
I will report back on this thread after hearing from the RV service center, hoping a part replacement resolves the issue.
If the shop finds the stove regulator to be the issue, I would hope they can find an alternate regulator. These are not really special stove regulators, but they do need to fit in the space provided and regulate correctly. Having to buy a completely new stove top just to get a stove regulator is, well, not right.
Yes, please let us know how this comes out.

John, wrong! The Stove/range LP regulator IS a special regulator. The stove/ranges run of 10 inches W/C, NOT 11.5 WC. The Stove regulator drops the 11.5 down to 10 inchs W/C. So, you need the regulator built for 10 inches W/C. It is rare for this regulator to fail for pressure. Usually leaks. The OP needs to connect a seperate 20lb LP tank with the hose and 3/8 connector DIRECT to the stove and then test run. I believe his problem is the rubber LP supply line is slightly kinked causing it to run for a few minutes, and then goes out. This is especially true if the Stove is mounted in a slide room. Doug
