If you have a standing pilot flame, there is a good chance that it needs to be lit to operate. Is there a thermocouple present at the pilot flame orifice? Does the range have an interior gas valve with a selectable "pilot", "on", and "off" position?
The other thing about these vintage propane appliances is that some may not operate with newer, conventional two-stage regulators. The pressure will be too low. Have you recently replaced the regulator at the cylinder?
Rather than listing a bunch of repair steps and workarounds without seeing the appliance, I'd suggest to take the trailer to an appliance shop and have them diagnose the issues.
