I'm well aware of the turn the valve slowly issue and do so. I was also shown that a lot of issues on RV propane systems come from not screwing the hose connection tightly against the tank valve. The connection pushes the interior valve to open and allow gas to flow. There is a very small distance here that has to be completed to open the valve. Sometimes if you can't seem to get gas flowing at all, you can take a paperclip or similar pointy object and push it against the valve on the tank to get it to open and hopefully blow out foreign objects that may have clogged the opening.

Again, i had everything "looking " correct. the indicator was green , etc. But once the demand for the gas furnace began, it sucked the " ice" into the opening inside the valve and shut down. I'm talking about one second here.
the drop light seems to have done the trick and I'll leave it on until this unbelievable weather breaks this weekend.

Happy trails !
