If it's not the regulator then you have a spare. There have been posts about oil in the propane lines which comes into the tank with the liquid propane.
Propane since it is a "byproduct" of refining/cracking crude oil and natural gas into other products (at one time, propane, Naptha (cousin to gasoline were considered worthless byproducts and was flared off at the well head in the early days of crude oil production) which can contain small amounts of oil. Generally very harmless but since the actual content can vary some depending on how much processing has been done may be enough to make it out of the cylinder as you consume the gas (liquid form in the cylinder converts to gas as you draw it out of the cylinder).

I use my Rv a lot. And I have had so many regulator failures that I always carry a spare.
I started doing this after one failed in camp on the North Rim. Temps were in the teens, and everything that runs on propane wouldn't work. I had to drive to Flagstaff and pay an inflated price for one.
Cost me 1.5 tanks of fuel and a day of hunting as well.

Be aware that there can be a excess flow valve in the pigtail that connects to the tanks..
HERE
If if equipped with the valve it may have tripped or failed.. I don't know it is self resetting.. May have failed on both pigtails.

And a spare regulator is a good thing to have.
It isn't expensive or difficult to install - and a lot of essential appliances in your RV rely on it.

I will most likely check everything out again before I order a new regulator. Thankfully, we're not going anywhere with the trailer over the next 3 or 4 weeks.
