Portable Camping Stove Design Issue
So I have a popup camper too, with a stove that moves from inside to outside. How nice since there are gas lines in both spots. I hook the stove up, push the button down to lite, and try to light ...

1. You DO HAVE a regulator. Period. While you see the Tank hose at the tank, there IS a regulator connected to that hose.
2. The Gas line at the pic of the Range, that silver thing is the Range Regulator and it is there to drop the RV LP pressure from 11.5 inches to 10 inches which is what most RV Range/Ovens operate at.
3. Clarify, IF the Range is inside the RV in its mount hole does it operate and light OK?
4. It only fails to operate correctly when mounted outside?
5. If mounted outside, can you light the burners with a match?
6. Last, from your pic, there does NOT appear to be a Piezo or auto ignitor system. Your Range must be manually lit with a match or flame. Doug
3. Inside or outside, the gas does not make it to the burner. When I light the gas at the knobs, it lights, but very weakly. There is no hiss from even the opening at the knobs.
I assume you have a spring loaded LP quick connect. It is probably the Center pin inside the quick connect is NOT seating squarely and pushing the inside pin inward to release the LP. You need to remove the FEED fitting(LP turned OFF at tank) and then have someone open the LP tank valve. If you feel and hear a good stream of LP the quick connect is your problem. Doug
PS, VERY common problem when trying to use the outside LP connection, very strange it also fails inside.
