Camco Dual Propane Tank Regulator - Flip the Lever to the Reserve Tank

The Camco Dual Propane Tank Regulator automatically switches to a full propane tank when the cylinder in service depletes. Though this changeover occurs on its own, the gas gauge will need to be manually rotated to point toward the reserve tank in order to accurately indicate the backup cylinder's fuel level.

Replaced along with new regulator. Went with a 2" longer hose.

Working as if I just installed. No more smell of propane when I walk by my 5th wheel



by:

I’m glad I found etrailer. They’ve had a lot of the parts I need and they’re service is good and staff is nice to deal with and knowledgeable.



by:

Easy Install (drilled new holes in the backing plate) and it works like a charm.
We kept smelling faint propane odors and we were going through gas too fast. We replaced all hoses and re-certified the tanks, but still smelled a faint propane odor. So, we replaced the regulator. Because the old one was still fire-ing up the stove and furnace, we did not realize that when regulators wear out, they can leak gas. Such an inexpensive fix that we plan to get another to keep on hand.
We have purchased from etrailer in the past and will continue to do so.
Note: regulator is not touching the tanks (pictures are a bit deceptive) but it sits a few inches in front of the tanks.



by:

Best price and fast shipping. etrailer made it so easy. I received it on the day promised and easily installed it the same day. Works great!



by:

Excellent item. It made hooking up my coffee trailer very easy to two tanks.



by:

This is the second of these Auto Changeover Regulators I have bought from etrailer. The first one went on my previous travel trailer and liked it so well, I bought one for my present unit. This newest travel trailer only had one tank. We boondock camp a lot, so one wasn't enough. These regulators come with the outlets straight out the sides, so I put L-fittings on the clean things up a bit. I love buying from etrailer, because they always ship fast and carry very good products. I've bought quite a few items over the years from etrailer, and they have never disappointed me yet,



by:

The regulator is a perfectly matched replacement, quality of product appears to be well made. Installation according with instructions simple to understand. Performance is satisfactory to original equipment. Delivered received a day ahead of scheduled. Order filled promptly. Thank you,.



by:

Works perfect! Quick delivery. Thanks again etrailer.

I lived in the camper for 6 months after I purchased this product, so it was in continuous use for a while. Worked great, was still working when we parked the camper in April.



by:

I always appreciate the quick product delivery and followup from etrailer. I was disappointed this time, however, with the product. There were only two machine screws provided to attach the regulator to the bracket when there should have been four; the package containing the screws had been opened prior to being placed into the regulator package. Also, in my opinion, the supplier or manufacturer should have included a new mounting bracket for the new regulator rather than providing a very generic template and requiring the purchaser to adapt the regulator to an old bracket, not very efficient. I believe the regulator is good quality, but the attachment hardware could have easily been included for a better overall product.

David H.

The regulator seems to be working as expected. I never received any response from etrailer or the manufacturer to my comments regarding the attachment hardware I havent changed my opinion about that. It is a manufacturer issue, not etrailer.



by:

I purchased a Camco 59005 propane regulator for a used travel trailer we recently purchased. I chose this item to complete an order for free shipping. I have had good service from Camco products. I was replacing a valve that was 11 years old (still working well), along with the aged rubber propane hoses. I have experienced that it is much easier and safer update rv equipment at home than in a campground while I am on vacation. Propane hoses get brittle and valves deteriorate, so I always replace anything questionable. I expect this Camco valve to give me years of good service. etrailer has treated me right on anything I have purchased from them!

Changeover valve has worked well and as expected over the last year. We used the trailer about 6 weeks this year.



by:

Bought this to replace original regulator. Seems a little cheaper made and more light duty than my original, but EVERY regulator that I found by searching GR 9984 was shaped like this one so I bought from etrailer. Installed today and everything looks good. The bracket that Was on my original regulator bolted right on this regulator. I believe this is as close to my original as can be bought. Haven’t fired up all my appliances yet, but I think it will be great. If you’ve never had the auto changeover for your dual tanks before, you should buy this and give it a try.

Jamey M.

Still holding up. No problems. Thanks



by:

this regulator is not a direct replacement of the model 6020 Winntec regulator . I had to drill holes in the existing mounting bracket and the tapped holes had to be re-tapped to use existing screws. additionally I had to order different hoses for the tanks as the connection was different.

This regulator is designed to be an universal regulator that is used with a variety of trailers. You are correct in that it uses a pigtail like part # 100575-15-MBS that has an inverted male flare. The mounting holes on this regulator are spaced 3 inches apart on center left to right and approximately seven eights inches on center front to back.



by:

Replaced non-changeover regulator with this item. Worked great on my last travel trailer, expect nothing less on this one. Absolutely necessary to keep from guessing when you are out of propane. First became familiar with the auto-changeover feature on a 2002 fifth wheel, now I have one on my 24 ft travel trailer.

Ericr

Installed this after depleting both tanks of gas on a trip. The changeover works great!



by:

Purchased and received the regulator in the usual prompt etrailer way. Within two months the regulator failed shutting gas off to trailer leaving us without heat or gas for cooking. A call to etrailer customer service resulted in having to make a call to Camco support directly. Camco sent a replacement regulator within a week.

The replacement was installed and has been working troublefree since.



by:

New regulator and hoses on my 20 year old camper. When you smell propane and everything is tight it is a no-brainer. Appears to be very good quality and half the price of the regulator at a local RV dealer.

Steven H.

One year follow-up, no problems, propane is working fine on my 2000 model camper.



by:

This was replacing a original regulator that was on the camper when we bought it. This was a great replacement, fit perfect and works like it should. Fittings matched all the hoses and it was really easy to replace it myself. I was given some advice from etrailer on how to remove and replace it. The help was very positive and correct. Thanks etrailer.com.



by:

I put this onto a 2021 Jayco HT Eagle 5th wheel, to replace the OEM unit that was recalled. I bought this instead of getting a replacement through the recall because this replacement unit has a low gas indicator and auto-switching between two propane tanks -- in my mind, basic functionality.



by:

A problem with my RV refrigerator led to the replacement of the existing propane regulator. One of the problems with the fridge was that the propane could not be adjusted to 11 in of water and a 2 stage regulator was recommended,hence the replacement. Shipping was prompt and the hipping charges were very modest and reasonable. Hookup was straightforward, but a trip to the store was necessary to get a new bracket (Simpson "strong tie") and drill some new holes in it for the machine screws to attach the regulator to the bracket. (NOTE: The screws are METRIC). After installation all the gas appliances worked just fine and the refrigerator fired up with a good healthy flame. I cannot comment about the long term reliability, since I very recently installed this item.



by:

Product has performed okay. Only issue I have is the color of the flag indicating the tanks have shifted is almost impossible to see without a flashlight.

Bill M.

8/28/2018

Lasted about nine months then failed. Will no longer shift automatically. I replaced it with another brand because this is the second Camco regulator I have had to replace prematurely.



by:

This was a replacement for a recall item and the dealership was taking forever to get the part in because of backorder, so I decided to find one myself. etrailer had exactly what I needed and it took only about a month to get here. Everything was as described and fit perfectly!



by:

Very satisfied with the product. Easy installation. Like the feature of the part that shows you if the tank is empty and will switch to the other tank.. Delivery time was right on. Will order from them again.

Tom N.

3/12/2018

I am very happy with the Camco Propane regulator. It work as stated, no problems. Would buy another one if needed.. Deliverery was fantastic..



by:

So far so good. Great replacement to the one that failed. It's used in a remote cabin propane system similar to an RV setup.
Also very fast service.

Kevin H.

Still working perfectly.

Quality products at a good price, fast shipping. What could be better.

2. Camco Propane Supply Hose - ACME Nut x Male Inverted Flare - 15" Long - CAM59065
3. Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks - CAM59005



by:

This product did not meet my needs for a higher volume of propane coupled with the larger tanks. I am switching it out for a hi capacity regulator.



by:

The product was just has expected and installed has expected. The service that I received from James was exceptional. He listened to what I said and chose just the right product for my needs. I have had nothing but excellent service when working with the people at e-trailer

  • How to Determine if Camco Automatic Changeover Regulator Will Work with Full Size Range
    The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 is rated for 210,000 BTU/hr for the service cylinder and 130,000 BTU/hr for the reverse cylinder with a nominal outlet pressure of 11". I am not sure what your full size range is rated for but you should be able to verify the specs with what I just gave you for this regulator.

  • Replacement for WIC 6020 Propane Regulator
    The WIC Model 6020 is simply a low pressure two stage automatic changeover regulator from what I can see so you can use many others in its place such as the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks part # CAM59005 which is what I recommend.

  • Should Propane Leak From The Hose When I Remove The Tank on Fifth Wheel Trailer
    You are correct, gas should not be able to leak from the hose when you remove the tank. It sounds like you have a stuck or defective check valve in the regulator or the pigtail. Sometimes corrosion can build up and cause the back check valve to stay open. Some customers have been able to use a small amount of spray lubricant or PB Blaster to loosen up any build up that may have caused the check valve to stay open, but your best option is to replace the regulator and the hose completely,...

  • Automatic Changeover Propane Regulator to Replace 2 Single Stage Regulators
    What you have there is an old school way of making a 2-stage regulator by running the propane through two single-stage regulators. You can add a second tank and replace what you have with an automatic changeover 2-stage regulator, part # CAM59005. You need two Type 1 connection hoses to go from the tanks to the regulator, part # 100473-12 is a 12 inch hose. If you need a different length I've linked all of the hoses we carry that will work for you. After the regulator you need a Tee...

  • Do Both Propane Tanks on a Dual Stage Regulator Need to be Open
    The Camco Vertical 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59313 will not require that both tanks be opened in order to function but you can if you choose to do so. You will however, need to close off both tanks before either of them are removed. This regulator only has a single 1/4" NPT inlet so both tanks will need to be spliced into one another whereas the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005 has dual 1/4" NPT inlets so both tanks can be attached directly....

  • Are Inputs and Outputs of Camco Dual Propane Tank Regulator Right or Left Hand Threaded
    The 2 inputs and one output of the Camco # CAM59005 Dual Propane Tank Regulator are right hand threaded. I've confirmed this with my Camco representative, just to be absolutely sure. Given the age of your existing regulator, I agree with your decision to replace it for safety's sake.

  • Can You Use Fittings Without Backcheck On The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Regulator
    No, you would need to use a fitting with backcheck # 37207-30045 on your Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 to prevent one tank from filling the other tank and potentially causing an overfill in one tank. The ones you have on there could be defective so I recommend changing them first and if not then the blockage could be the regulator itself and you'll need to replace it.

  • Is MB Sturgis High Capacity Two-Stage Auto Changeover Regulator # CAM59005 Adjustable
    The MB Sturgis High Capacity Two-Stage Auto Changeover Regulator # CAM59005 is not adjustable. The first stage brings the pressure to 10 psi and then the second to 11 inch water column. These can't increase the pressure of a system though. You should note that nearly all RV applications use 11 inch water column.

  • Troubleshooting Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator CAM59005
    The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 has two brass check valves that include a small stainless steel ball. This steel ball is what blocks gas from the full tank from exiting the port for the empty tank. Pressure from the full tank presses the ball against the valve for the empty tank to block gas flow. My contact at Camco advised that a small spray of an aerosol lubricant like WD-40 or PB Blaster often effectively removes the residues that can build up in...

  • Does the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator Freeze Up
    When LP flows it is cold. The regulator will show condensation, and to the touch it will be cold. We have not heard that because it forms a frost on the regulator it does in any way take away the function of the part. You cannot prevent the regulator from becoming cold or have frost on the part. The difference between the horizontal and vertical is the location of the vent on both, you cannot use a regulator in a position that you will have water going into the vent.

  • Can Horizontal Propane Regulator Mount Vertically
    The regulator vent allows the regulator to "breathe" during normal operation and functions as a pressure relief opening in an over-pressure situation. For this reason, propane regulators must be pointed down, covered and protected, or have an adapter attached that places the vent opening in a downward facing position.

  • Adapter to Allow Auxiliary Propane Tank to RV Propane System
    We have a kit designed just for what you are looking for with the MB Sturgis T-Fitting w/ Hoses for POL Valve # 103539-MBS. This installs between the tank and the regulator to give you a way to switch between your main RV propane tank and an auxiliary tank.

  • Where Should My Propane and Carbon Monoxide Be Mounted In My Trailer
    I'll start off by saying that we don't carry any type of copper or flexible steel hoses since those types of gas lines can only be purchased by those who are certified to install them. But we do carry the parts you'll need to get from the propane tank to the regulator and then into your trailer's propane line. To run from the tank to the regulator you'll need something like the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/Backcheck # 100473-20-MBS which will connect to a Type 1 propane fitting similar to...

  • Troubleshooting Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator
    I spoke with my contact at CAMCO and he said it sounds like rushing the LP through the Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 caused the check valve to automatically shut off. He recommended turning off all propane at the bottle and turning off all downstream appliances and wait about 15 minutes for the system to reset, then when you hear a click in the green nut the system will be reset and you can turn back on the propane at the bottle.

  • Refrigerator Stopped Running off Propane Power but Worked with Electric
    It is hard to say but a gas smell would indicate a leak. You can track down a leak by the usual means: using a solution of soapy water to see where air bubble appear. No bubbles means no leak and in that case it does sound like some debris blocking the line or a valve that is sticking. Replacing the trouble part should solve the issue whether it be a leaking part, blocked part, or stuck valve.
