Perhaps I'v got my thinking bass awkward, but I believe that a stronger spring is necessary, at least in my case. Too, some have apparently resolved the problem by turning down the tank regulator making it easier for the stove regulator to open. Then there is the question as to whether other stoves or appliances use a regulator that works. In all my years of camping, often at high elevation with different RVs, I've never encountered this issue. There must be something that works.

no a stronger spring would help but then at sea level it wouldnt provide the function of keeping a back pressure on the system for the fridge and furnace when you are using the cook top. as for your last part thats why I suspect it has gone bad. I have camped for years up to 6000 feet with many different rv's which all had the stove regulator and they all worked. my new (used) camper was having some flame issues but it turned out the main propane two stage reducer had blown something and wasnt providing enough pressure when the furnace was running also, but it still worked just week flames.
