A long shot and I'm not sure if this applies to the gas stove but the refrigerator and the furnace require a reliable 12v source to the control board. If your battery is weak the control boards may not function, thus not allowing the appliance to operate. That is true even when connected to shore power and the battery is weak or failed. Again, I don't think the oven and stove top burners have an electronic controller.

On our 2007 there was a little red regulator inside the propane locker on the side opposite the locker with the normal regulator. The purpose was to keep the safety shutoff built into each propane bottle to keep from triggering if you opened the valve too quickly. Those red regulators were prone to frequent failure. Some of us replaced those with either a different hose or an adapter/connector in place of the little regulator. You then have to open that bottle's valve slowly but no more problems. However, you said you tried the bottles on both sides and neither works. If somehow the excess flow safety valve was triggered it will after a couple of hours (sometimes less) reset itself (if the valve is shut off), allowing propane to flow again. That kind of sounds like your situation except for the part of neither bottle working. The only common point between the two bottles is the main regulator and from there on into the coach.
