Old-Biscuit,
I don't mind replacing the pigtails but unless you know something I don't, they have worked before just not at the storage area. And the regulator (the one I replaced) also worked previously. We leave Wednesday to take the trailer to Florida. My first stop is at a KOA. I will try to light the stove before I connect to shore power. If it lights, I think the RV dealer's theory about the gas pipe being too hot in storage may be the problem. Although another thought just came to me which I will try this morning. The stove is in the kitchen slide-out. The difference between being at the KOA and storage is that the slide-out is extended at the KOA. The slide out works on DC, so this morning I will extend the slide-out and see if that makes a difference. It could be the flex hose from the steel gas pipe to the stove is kinked when the slide-out is in and preventing gas from flowing. The refrigerator is also part of the slide-out.
