I have a 2017 Heartland Gateway bunkhouse that I live in full time.

My stove wont light - the furnace and the hot water heater are both running on propane, working fine. You can hear there is no gas going to it.
oven also wont light.

Anyone run into this before?

Sometimes if I disconnect the bottle and open the gas on the cook top and let it sit for awhile it will light. But, then within a short time it quits again.

Hi CAllred,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum.

If your oven is in a slideout, check underneath the slide to see if perhaps the propane hose is pinched.

Thank you for the suggestion - the lines doesnt seem to be pinched.
Seems like their might be a regulator under the cover of the stove between the gas supply and the gas distribution system.
can these fail?

I think Atwood units have a regulator - not sure about others. Regulators can fail. Or the hose to the regulator may have a problem delivering propane. Gas pressure can be tested with a manometer.
