Hi all.
The stove in my '89 Grandby doesn't put out as much heat as I think it should - I'm guessing things are a bit gummed up after 20+ yrs of use. I removed the regulator/valve assembly & took it to a local RV shop in hopes of some advice in cleaning. No dice. Anyone out there have any advice or tips?
Thanks, Kevin

What about soaking it in oven cleaner?

The burners not the regulator. The regulator will die if you soak it in over cleaner. You can buy all new regulators and hoses - pretty standard stuff.
