Propane Line Issue???

Hello,

Due to military my RV truck camper sat for a year. It is a 2014 livin lite. Got everything up and running except the fridge on gas and the furnace. The stove on gas works immediately and appears at normal strength.

Does anyone have suggestions on trouble shooting? I'm not totally sure, but it appears propane is not feeding the fridge. I was not able to smell it or feel it in the back of the fridge. I have to double check the furnace. Both igniters appear to be functional based on noise alone.

Thank you,

Dave

Propane System is ONLY .4 psi (11" WC)
Regulator needs a 'demand' in order to establish flow
Fridge propane is one of the lower 'demands' and can take a LONG time to establish propane flow UP to fridge gas valve (valve only stays open for 6-8 seconds during trial for ignition---no flame proved circuit board shuts down DC to gas valve solenoid)

Furnace is largest demand.....but typically farthest away from LP Reg

Firs off stove top burners (ALL on HIGH)...leave on and then fire off furnace until you get it to light off
Then fridge

Course this is 'assuming' furnace/fridge burners are not obstructed....spider webs, birds nests, mud dabbers etc. after sitting idle for a year
So a good burner cleaning might be needed
Is it time for your medication or mine?
