Tired of cold showers ugh

[oldmanriver809]

Well we're about 1500 miles into our first ever RV adventure which has been great but our propane system isn't working well. We have a 2013 14rb AR-ONE. The problem we are having is that the propane won't continually flow over a longer than 10-15 minute time frame, sometimes less than 30 seconds. I have a full tank of propane(20lbs) and I thought it was the regulator so I bought a new one and installed it. I checked for leaks with soapy water and do not have any. Sometimes the propane will last long enough to make a pot of coffee and once so far it's lasted/flowed long enough for supper and two showers but this morning after successfully making a pot of coffee I tried lighting the hot water tank for a shower and it went out, burner and pilot light, after about 10 minutes. I read that you should turn the propane valve on very slowly to avoid "freezing up" the valve and I have been doing that but with limited success. We would surely like a warm shower and were wondering if you all would have any suggestions that might fix this problem? Thank you in advance!

Possibly opened the valve too fast ? Try to reset .



1. Turn off the gas at the propane tank
2. Disconnect the hose from the propane tank
3. Open the lid of your BBQ Grill
4. Turn all the burner valves to high
5. Wait for 2 minutes (just time enough for a soda)
6. Turn off all the burner valves
7. Connect the gas line back up to the propane tank
8. Turn the gas on slowly on the propane tank
9. Light the grill using your normal lighting procedures
If the regulator was stuck, it should have been reset using these steps.

If you always turn off your burner valves first before turning off the gas at the tank, you will keep the regulator from sticking again.
