instahot/furnace not working

** this issue has been resolved **




good morning and happy thanksgiving !

I have a 2012 Forest river Wildcat Maxx Rl30 sterling edition.

it does not have a water heater..it has the insta hot.

last night I ran out of propane. I got up this morning went and filled both tanks. I cannot get my instahot to work and the furnace is now not working. (im freezing !) I went out side to where the insta hot and furnace are. it was blowing cold air. I opened it and I could smell propane. then I could hear the ingnitor clicking and I could see a small flame ignight in the back and it would blow heat and then the flame would go out. Inside I could light my stove, but after a few seconds the flame would get smaller..and if I turned multiple burners on the flames would almost extinguish. I smell propane as well inside. I went and shut off my tanks because the propane smell was making me nervous.

everything was working perfectly fine until I ran out of propane.


any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure both propane tanks are shut off, bleed excess propane at stove. Open one propane tank very very slowly to prevent high flow. Go to stove and light again and see if that fixes propane flow. If OK, then try other equipment.
