Propane problem

Hello all, any input would be awesome.
I have a 2017 carbon 347 with a kitchen slide. With the slide out the fridge and stove work properly using propane. With the slide in my fridge and stove will not ignite.
Is there some sort of shut off switch that the slide hits to shut off the propane to the fridge and stove or something else going on? TIA

I have no idea on a switch, I guess that's possible.....but the thing that comes to mind for me is to check under the slide and see if maybe the gas line is getting pinched when the slide is retracted in. If....that is the case, two other things come to mind.
1. The line obviously needs to be rerouted or maybe there is a support that has come loose.
2. Thoroughly check the line for damage if it has been pinched....and replace it if necessary....or have the dealer do it if you are under warranty or you are uncomfortable working on gas lines. The last thing you want to happen is to have a leaking propane line anywhere, but especially under your camper.

I had the exact same problem on my 2016 Cougar 28SGS. And it was, in fact, the gas line getting pinched against the leveling jack that was obviously installed after the slide out was assembled. It was a simple matter of loosening the fitting and rotating the elbow 90 degrees and re-tightening.
See the two photos below.

I'm with the others - a kink in the gas line. Mine has a little swing arm that the gas line rides in/on when the slide extends/retracts. I found the swing arm (plastic) broken allowing the gas line to become misrouted under the slide.

Thanks all, I thought I might be reaching on the shut off valve thing. The pics helped. I'll check it out.

That's unbelievable that they would let that leave the manufacturing plant like that. If crimped enough times, that could crack and leak propane. BOOM!

Yup, it was indeed kinked when the slide was in. MerlinB was right, I loosened the fitting and turned it and no more kink. The pics helped out. Thanks
