^^^^This... I just learned this trick this spring with my trailer. If your connection at the tank has the large green knob, it has a safety valve in that connection as well to prevent blowouts. First time you pressurize the lines could throw that safety valve into "safe" mode and only allow a trickle of propane through it.
I had the situation where I could light the stove (last appliance on the propane line) and the burners (3) would power up and blow full blast for about 20 seconds, then simmer down by themselves to a trickle of flame. No matter what I did, couldn't get past this point. If my stove doesn't run full-bore, nothing else will. Had to disconnect the tank for a couple of seconds, then reconnect and turn the propane on SLOWLY (as Hunt4Ever suggests) in order to not throw that safety valve on the tank connection.
At least, that's how it worked for me.... Once the above was done, then had full propane at the stove and then fridge/furnace would operate as normal.
Usually in most trailer systems, your stove is the last appliance in the line; if it doesn't light, nothing else will.
Here's the link that I learned about the propane tank:
