If not in a slide I'm guessing the regulator possibly went bad. Since the stove was working and then just stopped there should have still been propane in the lines just no pressure. So a new tank should allow you to light the stove almost instantly. However if you left the system with the tanks removed it's possible you need to run the stove burners for about 30 seconds to bleed air out of the system before the stove will light.
Try taking a match or a lighter and hold it by the stove burner and then try to light. Does the flame flicker as if there is a gas coming out of the burner holes?
Check the new replacement tank against something else like a camp stove or the neighbors bbq to verify the tank is good.
If you want to try the turning on the system slowly; Turn off the tank and disconnect the flexible line. Then go into the coach and turn on the stove burner for 30 seconds to bleed any pressure out of the system. Then turn off the stove, reconnect the flexible line and slowly turn the tank on.
