I found an RV dealer about 20 miles away, in Fulton, NY.  They had the right regulator, so I bought it, installed it, and everything is working properly again.  Yay!

Hi Kev. There might be a propane supplier near you.

So when we got this Itasca this past winter, I replaced the propane regulator at the propane holding tank, since the stove was acting funny...as was the water heater.

For the last few days, the stovetop is doing the same thing it was before: A very low flame even on high (not even enough to perk the coffee)...and then when you turn it off, the flame POPS out with an audible sound. It is an Atwood "Wedgewood."

Do you think it might be that the new propane regulator is faulty? Or is there a propane regulator in the stove/oven itself?

After writing the first part of this, I decided to turn on the hot water heater to see what it would do (since we were running it on electric in this RV park we are at)...and it is also a pathetically weak flame.

So it looks like I answered my own question: It HAS to be the new propane regulator I installed last winter, since both the stovetop and the water heater have pathetically weak flames and are obviously under-pressured.

I'll have to find an RV store somewhere around the Sterling, NY area after the weekend!
