Propane help

I could use some help. I recently bought a 93 Layton travel trailer. I have never owned one before. I think I have the basics of how everything works, but I think something is wrong with the propane system. I can get the stove to light and I can get the pilot light to work on the oven. I can not get the oven to actually light up. Nor can I get the water heater pilot light to light. The fridge on propane mode will eventually light up the check light. Anybody have any thoughts.

    Just from the ages of your appliances, all of them should be disassembled and cleaned. I was able to get my '71 water heater firing quite easily so that would be a good start.

    My guess is the line pressure is too low caused by a faulty regulator. It has to be checked by a qualified technician. FWIW, an used RV should have the propane system checked and cerified by a licensed tech.
