Weird propane issue. One appliance is working and orange valve leaking
2013 Keystone Raptor 332TS. I went to switch the fridge to LP and it would not light. Entry door side tank was not full, but had about half in it. Driver's side tank was full and had not been used yet. When I turned on the driver's side tank, it was leaking propane from the orange valve that the pigtail connects to out of a little pinhole on the valve. I immediately shut it off. Since it was 4am, I decided to load the cooler and start the trip as we were going to a site with full hookups.
When I got to the site I turned on the entry door side tank and found that I could light the stove and oven. The refrigerator still wouldn't work, and the water heater wouldn't work in LP mode.
Is all of this a result of the orange valve leaking? Is this an overpressure/flow valve? I just read something about turning on the tanks slowly, but I wouldn't think this would cause this valve to vent propane.
The RV had been parked for weeks with both tanks turned off.
Why does just the range/oven work and no other appliances?
Thanks.
