If your tank doesn't have an electric cut-off switch, there should be a manual cut-off valve at the propane tank. If the tank was just filled, perhaps the cut-off valve wasn't re-opened after being filled? This is what my manual cut-off valve looks like, just to the left of the enclosed regulator.

On a previous MH I owned there was a 12v solenoid valve that was piped in series between the manual hand valve and main supply line to appliances. The coach was equipped with an LPG leak detector which controlled the 12v coil on the solenoid valve. If there was a leak or fault in the system it would cut off the 12v supply to the coil and hence no flow to the appliances. In my case the coil had failed. There was 12vdc to the cool but no flow as the valve was closed. No sure if your unit is equipped with such a device or not.

Is this Discovery new to you?
How long has it been since the last time you had propane at the stove?
Has you tank been filled recently?
Where is the tank located? In my 2006, it is between the frame rails behind the fuel tank. If yours is the same, you should have a switch where the filler tube is located. That switch can be in the off position, or defected, or a ground connection near the switch bad, or the solenoid valve at the tank is bad. If your tank is like mine, there is a manual shut off valve at the actual tank. It has a small round handle.
Could be there is air in the lines.
Could be the tank regulator is the type there you need to open the valve slowly or it will lock out.
We would love to help. Just need a bit more info.

I had this problem after a long trip. I replaced the switch at the filler and the pressure regulator valve- no help. I traced the wires from the switch up to the solenoid valve and found bad wires at the butt splice where the wires meet. I had to cut the wire ties to expose the connections. The wires had a little insulation missing and the wires were that blue corroded color. That was whole problem.

Most likely it will be the switch, ground connection from the switch, or possibly the electrical solenoid on the tank.
When you turn the switch on and off, do you hear the solenoid click?
Was the propane tank completely empty before you filled it?

This is the bad connection.

Thanks for posting that picture Bruce.  As they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words.

Like the others have said, if you don't hear the clicking sound of the tank's solenoid, it is not getting the voltage or the solenoid is bad.

I have an 07 Fleetwood with the tank between the frame rails. Besides the electric valve there is a small manual shut off. It looks like a small thumb screw, not a normal propane shut off valve. You may have a similar set up. My dealer always turns that off for safety when the coach is in the shop and then forgets to turn it back on. Very annoying.

Ok, since the tank had 1/3 tank, that probably rules out air in the lines.
There may be two electric switches for the propane tank. One in the control panel (mine is above the windshield passenger seat side, and the other is back where you fill the propane tank. Make sure both are on.
When you turn on the gas stove, do you hear anything at all?
