New valve?
I know they changed the valve requirements for portable propane
bottles like the type you use with a bbq but a built in RV propane
tank is a different beast. The RV propane tank has different rules
and requirements.

Did they change the requirements for RV propane tanks & valves & i
never heard about it? I have had no problems filling the built in RV
tank that came with my '84 camper, well once the propane people
couldn't find their extension to get to my valve & I had to go
somewhere else but that nothing to do with a "wrong" valve.
