Recently noticed the high output burner on my stove is a tad loud and there is a section of openings that do not light on the burner. This moves if I gently blow on them. Also oven pilot has phases where it kinda burps. I replaced my LP pressure regulator five years ago. Could this be a pressure problem? How would I check the regulated pressure? What should it be?

When was last time you CLEANED burners....toothpick openings to clear them and clean out burner gas tubeRV LP Pressure is 11" WC (that is roughly 0.4 psi)A Manometer is used to measure pressure.....connected to gas appliance and then at least 50% of propane appliances in serviceHow is Water Heater Flame?The Furnace?Fridge?OTHER stove top burners?Could be dirty stove top burner, could be range/oven regulator or could be LP Reg (IF other appliances have issues)

Sounds more like air in the line.You need to make a manometer. Basically it's a clear tube at least 30 inches long that you fill part way with water. Make the tube into a loop, remove a burner and slip one end over the spud. Turn on the gas, the water level should move about 11 inches up the tube.Making a manometer

For <$5, one can eliminate (or identify) a common cause of problems with propane appliances.

How is Water Heater Flame?
The Furnace?
Fridge?
OTHER stove top burners?

Could be dirty stove top burner, could be range/oven regulator or could be LP Reg (IF other appliances have issues)
