FWIW, my RV's cooktop has always taken a few minutes to get going after having had the propane turned OFF at the tank. I've had the propane system leak checked and it holds pressure for a long period just fine.
Something else is causing too much air and not enough propane remaining in the line between the propane tank and the cooktop after having the tank turned OFF for awhile.
Hence, we have left the propane tank valve ON all the time since buying the motorhome in 2006 (except when on a ferry with it) ... this includes when gassing up. When gassing up I turn OFF the coach's battery bank interconnect switch so the refrigerator or water heater can't automatically light up when refueling.
