No propane Help!!!

[RatedX]

Set up my TT for second time, turn on propane up front tanks but no propane anywhere in TT...did I forget to turn something on? I filled tank last week

All good advice. Start at the tanks checking your connection, valve on slowly, if multiple tanks make sure you are pulling from the correct tank (check the indicator on the regulator), Properly charged battery, make multiple attempts at lighting the stove to ensure air is forced from the lines.

Turn the cylinder valve on very slowly and only open it about 1/4 turn. Wait several seconds. This is because there is an excess flow valve built into the connection between the the cylinder and hose. This valve is designed to sense if the hose is cut or ruptures and will significantly reduce the flow of propane in that case. By only opening it a bit, you are only letting a small amount of gas through to "charge" the line with propane. If you hear a "click" the excess flow valve activated. You need to close the cylinder valve, wait a few seconds and start over.

It may be a bad regulator.

Just to add to the above, make sure when you screw on the connection to the tank, it is all the way until it is firmly seated. If it is not all the way, even a small amount, it will not allow propane to flow. If you have a automatic change over, make sure you are opening the correct tank first.

I always go inside and open all the stovetop burner valves and light the stovetop to make sure all of the air is out of the lines

In addition a mandated safety device will not let gas out of the tank if the line to the trailer is not FIRMLY connected, if the thing is just a little loose, no gas flows.

You see, if the fittings are a bit loose (And gas were allowed to flow) you could get a build up of gas near the tanks.

If you get just the right mix of gas and air, and add an ignigition source, Spark, Match, Coffin nail.. What do you supposed happens?

Did you check the carbon monoxide detector?

Do you have 12 volt power turn on and a good battery? Your newer model TT more than likely has an electrical soleniod activited by the propane detector. If you don't have 12volt power the soleniod will not open to allow propane flow

If it has been setting for awhile, it will take a little while to get the air out of the lines.

Like literally nothing? No hissing out of the stove top?

Check to be sure the valve is turned on. you do have to turn a knob on the top of the tank.

I would second double check and be sure the tank is still full. There may be a leak in your system somewhere.

While you are doing this, be sure they are connected properly.
