Stove issues

Hi,
I have an rear kitchen Aspen trail that is having cook top issues. The stove will not light without the furnace running, once it is lit you can turn the furnace off and the stove will continue to burn. The furnace quit working last fall, but the stove and oven worked fine. Before I could get it into a service center the furnace started working again. Both gas bottles are full, and it doesn't matter which side the selector is on... I am stuck, and I am not able to find electrical or gas system schematics to figure this out. Has anyone else had this problem, and what was the fix? The trailer is set up in a rv park and can't get it to a service center.

TIA, RON

Sounds like a regulator issue to me, does your main stove work ok?

The stove only fires after the furnace is turned on. Once the stove is lit it works fine, and then furnace can then be shut back down.

Are you talking about the main stove here in this comment as an answer to my question?

Does it light without the heater on?

No, the stove will not light on its own, only with the furnace running. Once the stove is lit, the furnace can be turned off.

I would check the regulators to see if they are working properly or you have lots of air in the lines. Do you go through propane quickly? Does the hot water heater work on propane and have difficulty in lighting?

Frank, thank you for the help. I called Dutchman today, and found out there is a recall on the regulator on my trailer. So now I am going through the process.
