Hello Sheila

Assuming that the fire/heater is also not working then it sounds like a faulty bulkhead regulator.  These have been known to get bunged up and I think the only answer then is to replace it.

If it is just the cooker not working then:-

1) they usually have an on/off valve hidden away under the cooker or

2) ( I know this sounds silly ) have you got the cooker lid fully open?

If you bought the caravan from a dealer then I suggest a word with them

Yep,agree with what has been posted already...the first thing I'd do,would be to have a rummage under/in the cupboards,as it sounds as if the isolation taps may be turned off... 

Good to hear it's sorted!

(..although,if it was from a dealer,then it's something that they should have picked up on before you took delivery... )

Hello again, Sheila

To help stop it happening again try and get the pipe from the regulator to the cylinder sloping down towards the cylinder.  That is supposed to allow the gungy stuff to drain back into the cylinder.

Where Truma reg's are used,the general consensus(well,over on some other forums) is to carry a spare(identical!)regulator and to make sure that the original reg' can be easily removed  if need be(..swap pop rivets for self-tappers etc).

Having said that,as a "get us out of trouble",I just carry a spare bottle mounted reg',with a length of low pressure hose & clip,that I can just slip onto the copper supply pipe..and although the reg is slightly higher,than the bulkhead regs'(37mbar),I've checked the spec' of all the appliances and it within their operating range...

Also swapping  the "pig tail" for a stainless steel item is recommended..(..although,surely even they've got a "rubber" linning of sorts?..)
