RE: Propane--no gas going to range
Thanks for all the input so far!
Bud--I didn't try running either the water heater or fridge on propane when I put the new tank on the tongue. When I return I will give that a shot if I add another full tank and still don't get a flame from the range burners.
Thankfully, the range is not on a slide out.
Joeic--how did you deal with the kinked line? I don't have a kink like you described but I did see just beyond the regulator that the line had a fold in it. I took a couple of pictures planning to post them here but Photobucket doesn't offer the free storage any more. Sadly I don't know how long the gas line has been like this. What did you do to straighten out the line?

Bud-- they do, however I chose to run them off of the shore power electric at that time.

Propane--no gas going to range
Was having difficulty getting range burners to light. Once I got one to light the flame lasted only a minute or two and slowly died down to nothing. Checked my tanks, they both felt light so very likely empty. At this campsite I was running the refrigerator and water heater on electric, so no problems there. I did a tank exchange and put the full tank on the tongue. Turned regulator to that one and opened the valve. Still nothing. Waited a while and tried again. Still nothing. Didn't even smell gas when I turned the stove burners to "light" position.
I plan to exchange the other empty tank soon and give it another try once I return to the campsite. (I keep it at a permanent campsite about two hours from my house.) Since coming back from the weekend camping trip I've been reading up on propane lockout and will certainly open the tank valves slowly next time. Any other input or suggestions? I'm hoping I don't need to replace the regulator but that might be the next thing if two full tanks don't do the trick. Regulator is original to the camper (bought new in early 2014). Tanks do have a cover over them.
Thanks in advance!
