OP has a 1997 Class C (Tioga)
Can you light the stove top burners.......simplest propane appliance. Turn burner knob ON and light it with a BBQ lighter.
If you can't get that to light then problem is with the propane supply.
Either tank is empty regardless of gauges
OR propane can't flow because shut-off solenoid isn't/won't open.....
Do you have 12V DC power inside coach> Lights work, fridge panel lights on etc.
Check for a 'LP Propane Detector'.....panel located down low on a cabinet etc. IT has to be ON (lights on/reset) before propane tank solenoid will open.
