Where is the solenoid on a propane tank?
Look at your propane tank/regulator area. If you have a solenoid valve, it will be between the tank and the hose going to the propane system in the motorhome. Any wires other than for the gauge would be a good indication that you have a solenoid. We had a ’99 Endeavor that had a similar gas flow problem a few years ago.

How does a propane regulator work in a RV?
Your RV has what’s called a two-stage propane regulator. It regulates the pressure of the propane gas coming from the propane tank at high pressure and lowers it to the proper level for your propane appliances. The regulator is installed between the propane tank and the rest of the propane system.
What should I do if my propane tank is not flowing?
Wait a few minutes, and the pressure regulator will reset itself. Then turn the propane tank valve on extremely slowly to allow the lines to become appropriately pressurized. Once this is done, you can ignite a propane appliance, and it should work properly. If not, it may be time to get an RV propane regulator replacement.
