When you connect a low pressure appliance to a high pressure tank, which is your case, safety stops can be activated and cause little or no propane to get to the appliance. Turn the propane off at the tank, then open all the valves on the grill if that is the appliance in use. Shut them and unhook the hose at both ends. Now reconnect the hose and very slowly open the tank valve (this lets the pressure build slowly, now open the grill valve and light. Works like a charm. If it doesn't you may need a new regulator for the grill, but that is unlikely. Best to then leave the tank valve open if you can or make sure you always open is slowly.
Good thought but the OP is not connecting a low pressure item to a high pressure tank. The pressure in the RV's lines is low pressure because it's after the regulator on the tank.
Quick disconnects on RV's are always at regulated pressure - not tank pressure.
Not true. "ALL" are low pressure? No. I have both a high and a low pressure QD. I know others who also have high pressure connects.
