    No propane to fridge or stove.

    Ok folks, banging my head here. Getting our 2020 310GK ready for a trip to the beach. Fridge won't start. No big deal, light the stove and purge the line right? No flow from the stove top. Checked the oven as well, no flow. Hit on all the basics, both bottles full and valves on. Generator starts and runs, water heater lights. Made sure they worked on each bottle separately, switchover regulator is fine. I looked for kinks or anything abnormal in the hose going to the slide. Found the quick disconnect and valve, unhooked and rehooked to ensure it was seated. Cycled the valve. All seems good.
    I'm fresh out of ideas. Any suggestions on where to look next?

    Are you sure you have the QD valve in the right position? If so, and things were unhooked as you say, I would suspect a critter might be clogging up matters. However, before going that route, confirm you have propane at the QD. In my model, the hose from the propane distribution block to the QD was way too long and the factory actually installed it in a manner that caused it to pinch off. Actually, they had it strained so badly the crimped fitting gave way first. Had to repair with a properly sized custom hose and two refills of previously freshly filled bottles!

    I will try to check to see if the qd has supply to it, no critters should be in it. I unplugged it and plugged it back in a couple of times. You have me thinking now though, there was never the little "pftt" I would have expected.
    Thank you for the insight!

    Sometimes it helps to disconnect the bottle and reseat the connector.

    Does your water heater work on gas, wondering if there is an issue with the regulator?

    Disconnected, topped off the cylinders. Switched the regulator back and forth.
    The water heater works and the generator starts & runs.

    I seem to recall there being a ball valve on the propane pipe just before the slide out. Not sure where I read that, but couldn't hurt to look... Hope you get it sorted out!

    Ok, update. I am now required to turn in all tools, firearms, motorcycles and anything else manly or cool.
    One of my neighbors is a tech for the dealership I bought the unit from. He stopped by today to have a look and fix it as a side gig. Took him 20 seconds or so. The quick disconnect can be connected without actually connecting. So I missed a trip to the coast because I didn't get a hose coupler seated, something I have likely done literally 100,000 times in my career. I even fiddled with it and did it a couple of times.
    Grrrrrr.
