Furnace Problems

When operating furnace on Cardinal 29RK 5th wheel, works fine on (main) tank, but when I switch over to other tank it will not run. Any suggestions?

Have you purged the air from the line using stove burner, etc?

Did you try closing tank valve then reopening slowly?

Does the stove work on the yank?

Is the tank full?

You say you replaced the small regulator. Did you replace it with a RED high pressure regulator?
Are you sure you have propane in the tank? It wouldn't be the first time someone swiped a full tank and replaced it with their own empty tank.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago. I don't know all the technical jargon, but there is a safety valve inside the hoses that is volume specific, basically if the flow is to great the setup is designed that it recognizes this as a leak and the valve closes. I replaced mine with a new hose and had the same problem as I got the incorrect volume of hose. Try switching the hoses off the regulator and see if the problem follows.
