Question about a propane regulator ?

We have the same type regulator.  Obviously though, if you do not have the second tank open, it will not switch over.  Also worth noting, when it does switch, the tank selection indicator does not move, so you might not know it switched if you do not keep track.
You don't have to believe everything you think.

I think your problem is that you removed the regulator from the stove and moved it to the tank. Our cooktop has a regulator on it that is changeable form natural gas to propane along with changing the orifices. I also have a regulater at the tank. My understanding is that the tank regulater supplies propane at 11 inches water column and the stove regulater further reduces the pressure. When on natural gas there is a regulater on the outside of the house and another regulater on the stove . My advise is to return the regulater to the stove and install a tank regulater.

Good luck, Sam

Does your propane tank have the kill switch inside the coach? If so turn it off for a few seconds then turn back on .This will reset the kill switch.I know ,this is to simple ,but you never know!!

Did you figure out???  If tank was new did they purge it before filling??   Bob

After doing some internet reading I found out that all I needed at the tank was a dual stage propane regulator. Plumbed in then new one and the stove works great now. It turned out the one with the stove was a low pressure regulator so when it was at the tank it could not reduce the high pressure coming out of the tank to low pressure 11" water column. If you think about it in a home there would be a regulator on the propane tank and then another at the appliance too. Same as natural gas a regulator on the side of the house and another at the appliance.
