I hope that I am posting this in the correct place. if not let me know and I will do what I can to correct the issue...I recently purchased a 23 foot Lynx 5th Wheel. When I looked at it all appliances were working. I struck the deal and returned another day to pick it up.Now I have it home and seem to have a problem. This is my first travel trailer. I had a slide in for a while and did not have any issues.The furnace, hot water heater and refrigerator do not want to work. The fridge will run on land power but not propane. When I attempt to switch to propane I can hear a clicking sound coming from it then it switches the "check" light on and stops clicking. My stove has propane to it and works. The stove is the last in the line from the tank. I can not hear propane coming in to the furnace at all. I can not find another valve to turn on other than the one at the tanks. I am unsure of the exact amount in the tanks but its enough to release the pressure valve at the front when I turn them on.Am I missing something simple? I was thinking the hot water heater, furnace and fridge may require a certain amount of pressure?

Make sure the tanks have propane in them. I had an issue where tank was neat empty and stove would work but nothing else

Run the stove top burners ON High so that the propane system is fully flowing.Some times it takes a few attempts for water heater, furnace and fridge to get propane flow thru their lines to their gas valves.You also have to have good 12V DC power......the fridge, water heater and furnace need DC power for control boards and furnace is completely DC power

If the tanks are full...and if you have tried to bleed the lines like Old-Biscuit posted above...Next I'd make sure that the regulator is not faulty..Also make sure that there is not another shut off valve somewhere along the line or even at each appliance.

I think I am going to pull the tanks and make sure they are full. I have good power to the camper. The blower works for the furnace and the fridge works very well on it. Does the fridge and furnace require more pressure than the stove?Thanks for the help guys.

Batteries are at full charge. I will check the flame on the stove and go from there.

The propane regulator supplies ALL the propane appliances.
propane pressure should be 11" WC.

If you have good flame at the stove top burners (all on High....strong steady blue flame then propane is flowing and pressure is probably OK)

If stove top burners decrease in flame height as you turn them on then reg. may be faulty.
