Propane flow problems

have a 2013 Montana 3791RD.

*The last time we were out in it I tried to shift from the driver side propane bottle to the passenger side propane bottle and I can't get it to work it won't change flow

. I tried changing the bottles around I made sure they were both full and* cannot get it to work and I don't know what's* wrong*

could be bad regulator

Could be you are opening the valves too quickly.

Hope you have solved it. Over seven years I have had everything but one propane line go bad one at a time. Red 30 psi reg vent out the top of the valve, one line stuck partially closed, changeover reg go south. Even a bad rv day is better than a normal day...which is why we fulltime.

So, big Bird, the auto-chaneover valve should do this without you moving the lever. But, it should also change over when you move the lever. If you are running off the drivers side, turn off the tank on that side. Looking at the changeover valve should still show green for gas since the curbside tank is on and gas flow would be out of that tank. Turn off the curbside tank and light the stove to burn off the gas in the lines. Changeover should now be red, manual changeover is still pointed at the drivers side tank. Move the lever to the curbside tank and slowly open that tank. The changeover can only see the curbside tank and should turn to green. If not, then that valve is bad or stuck looking at the drivers side tank. Light rapping on the valve body may clear a stuck condition
