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:

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

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:

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!

Rick

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

6/11/2020

Still working 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.

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:

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



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:

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:

Bought hose’s to match the threads and the brass threads on this over priced regulator were all ready striped.



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.

See what our Experts say about this Camco Propane Fittings

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Regulator Kit Recommendation for 2006 Fleetwood Niagara
    I looked up your 2006 Fleetwood Niagara and it looks like it uses two tank setup like what a lot of pop up campers use. So for a regulator designed for dual tanks with an automatic changeover we have the Camco Regulator part # CAM59005 which allows you to connect both of your tanks to a hose for your heater. If you need new pig tail assemblies between the tanks and the regulator we have the part # 100473-12 which is a standard 12 inch long pigtail. None of these have O-rings though.

  • Recommended Propane Tank Regulator For A 20lb And 30lb Propane Tank
    No, the same regulator you would use on a 20lb tank can also be used on a 30lb tank. The factor to consider when choosing your regulator is the BTU and pressure ratings of the regulator so that you can ensure you're meeting the requirements for your appliances. The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 you were looking at can definitely be used with a both a 20lb and 30lb tank.

  • Measure Level of Propane in two 120-pound Propane Tanks
    There are several methods to try and determine the amount of liquid propane remaining in a tank. The first is a pressure gauge like the Camco # CAM59023. This reads the pressure of vapor propane which remains steady until mostly empty then the needle moves quickly to empty. However, Camco does not recommend this product for 2-tank systems. The next method involves measuring the temperature of the tank walls comparing the vapor gas at the top of the bottle which will be nearly room temperature,...

  • How to Tell if Propane Regulator for RV is Horizontal or Vertical Mount
    Due to the orientation of the vent on the regulator part # CAM59005 it is a vertical regulator. For a similar horizontal regulator what you would need is the part # 108221 which is a similar 2 stage regulator but is instead designed for the horizontal mount. I attached a picture that shows the vent pointed out. If the vent is perpendicular to the flow of the propane through the regulators then it's a horizontal mount but if it's parallel (like the one you mentioned), the orientation is...

  • How Quickly Does Camco Automatic Changeover Regulator Switch to Different Tank
    I reached out to our propane tech contact and was told that for automatic changeover regulators such as the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 there is no actual time in regards to switching over. It was explained that the auxiliary tank will take over and start supplying gas once the primary tank is empty enough that the pressure falls to less than the auxiliary tank. So the changeover happens based on pressure differentiation, if that...

  • Automatic Changeover Propane Regulator Recommendation for a 44,000 BTU/hr Gas Stove
    The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 will best fit your needs.

    It sounds like you do have a regulator problem and need to replace it. I recommend the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005. This regulator features a gauge indicator to warn you the tank pressure is decreasing and you are running out of propane. There is a slight possibility that a pigtail may be bad or going bad. I recommend getting the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/ Back Check # 100473-24-MBS for each side when replacing the regulator...

  • Replacement Propane Regulator for a 2011 Georgian Bay Park Model
    The simple fix would be to replace the regulator. I know you may think this is a bit extreme as it still seems to be working but propane regulators are not serviceable and tampering with the lever will only make the problem worse. It will fail eventually and when it does you could be without propane so I think it would be best to replace it now while you have the chance. For replacement, I have two options for you, a cost effective one in the Camco Vertical 2-Stage Propane Regulator part...

  • Is a Regulator Needed for Propane Dual Tank Setup that Cavagna 924N Dual Regulator
    The Cavagna 924N that you have actually is a regulator. It is an automatic changeover style regulator very similar to the part # CAM59005 that you referenced which means you don't need to add a regulator to the tank you have that does not have one.

    The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks part # CAM59005 will work well for your situation. The changeover happens almost instantly and the residual propane in the line will allow the generator enough fuel to remain running while the changeover occurs.

  • Propane Setup on Fiver
    In order to use both propane tanks on your fifth wheel trailer, I recommend using the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005. This will allow you to connect both tanks to the same regulator. Then you can set one as the primary tank, and it will automatically switch over to your reserve tank when the primary tank is empty. In this configuration, you will only have one tank supplying propane at a time. You can also use this to connect to your 100 lb tank at home...

  • Will I Need a Regulator for a Second Tank with CAM59005
    The neat thing about the Camco # CAM59005 is that it has an automatic changeover valve that will keep constant pressure from one tank to the next. They will both use the same regulator, it will control the first tank til it runs out and then automatically switch over to the second tank and control that. You can even remove the empty tank to refill it without interrupting your supply. I've linked a short video on this product for your convenience.

    On the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 the fittings are a 1/4-inch inverted flare on the inlet and a 3/8-inch NPT female on the outlet. Part # CAM59953 is a correct replacement.

  • 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.

  • Troubleshooting Low Propane Pressure
    Typically the situation you are describing is characteristic of a leak in line, a low BTU rating on the regulator, or an empty tank. If you filled your tank recently, and your regulator has the correct BTU rating, then you will want to check your hose lines for any indication of a leak. The wrong regulator would not offer the right amount of pressure for the appliances. If you are still unable to find a leak I recommend you take your trailer to a local qualified trailer service shop...

  • Does the Camco Automatic Changeover Regulator part # CAM59005 Mount Vertically or Horizontally
