No Hot Water and No LP for Refrigerator

Very strange development; Suddenly Referigerator will only work on AC, not on propane, and the hot water heater doesn't work at all, on either AC or propane. Propane stove works fine, as does Gas Heater. Plenty of propane in the tank.

Any suggestions?

We first bought more propane, filling the tank that was fairly low, but not empty. The fridge started working on propane, but not the hot water heater. We went to an RV repair place and had a diagnostic in Indio, CA (Sun Bird RV) with a meter and the mechanic sold us a new thermostat. All works perfectly now! Best part was the mechanic did not charge for the diagnostic work, and the entire repair was $18 for the new thermostat.

A shout out for RV service in the Palm Springs Area!

We took our motorhome to Sun Bird RV in Indio, California because our hot water heater was not working. The mechanic diagnosed a faulty thermostat, which he sold to us, and I was able to install it easily. They did not charge anything for the diagnostic work, which included putting a meter on the heater. Total cost for our repair was only $18 + tax! We have used other repair facilities in the Coachella Valley, and always had to pay for diagnostics if they took a look at the rig.
We highly recommend:

What about adding them to rvservicereviews.com ? Your experience was completely different from someone else's.

Thanks for the idea Cheryl! I posted our review. I didn't know the RV Service Reviews site existed. It was good to put a contrasting opinion up. Interesting, we knew about their service charge for an onsite diagnostic, and we were able to drive to them directly and avoid that charge. They were quite responsive, the first time ever we have been able to drive in to an RV service place and be seen immediately without an appointment.
