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.

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

9/9/2018

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:

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:

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:

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.



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.

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:

The product is fine but I didn't realize that I needed special adapter pieces to make the item connect to the propane and bbq. . I spent a while at Loews trying to find the adapter fittings. They had no clue but the sales help just didnt know . I will seek out a plumber. I am not super smart about plumbing fixtures so this may not be a problem for others but I wish it were clearer with the product packaging what adapters were needed to connect this to propane and the the grill.

  • Should Two Propane Regulators be Used on a Trailer
    I spoke with my contact at Camco and he informed me that there is no reason to have two regulators. You cannot regulate LP twice. He advised you remove the second one and use just the Camco auto-change over.

  • Can I Replace a Marshall Model 250 Regulator With a Mr. Heater Model F273719 Regulator
    I have an option for you but the Mr. Heater Model F273719 regulator will not be a replacement for the Marshall Model 250 regulator. From my research, I found the Marshall 250 is an automatic change-over two-stage regulator. The Mr. Heater Model F273719 is not an automatic change-over two-stage regulator, it is made for 1 tank while the Marshall 250 is made to use 2 tanks. The option I have for you is the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005....

  • Will Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator Work with Two 100 Pound Tanks
    Provided that the 2 tanks match the requirements of the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 then you can use it. The inlets have 1/4 inch inverted flare connections and the whole unit is rated for 160.000 BTUs an hour. You might want to check with the laws where you live. The real estate laws may or may not require a detached propane tank from the home and/or it may have to be a certain amount of feet away from buildings.

  • What Size Screws are Used for Camco Auto Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator CAM59005
    Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks Item # CAM59005 has 4 mounting holes on the underside that are 0.12 inches in diameter. However, the mounting instructions state to drill 3/16 inch holes (if holes need to be drilled) where the regulator will be mounted. Considering that a threaded hole is difficult to measure 3/16 inches would be appropriate. The holes also have a depth of just under 1 inch.

  • Automatic Changeover Propane Regulator for Dual Tank System
    Yes we do, with the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks, part # CAM59005. This vertical regulator allows a dual tank setup to automatically switch to the full tank when the first one is empty and you can remove the empty tank without having to shut down the whole propane setup. This regulator uses standard 1/4-inch SAE inverted flare inlet ports and a 3/8-inch NPT female outlet port. You can see a typical installation in the linked photo. I also...

  • Regulator Recommendation for Powering Propane Space Heater with Two Tanks
    The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 would be a great solution for you. The BTU rating would be well over what you'd require, it has two inlets for each of the tanks you'd have, and regulates to LP pressure of 11 inch water column like you said you'd need. We do not have any 25 foot long sections of propane hose at this time though.

    The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 can certainly replace your Cavagna regulator. The Camco will connect the 2 propane tanks on your RV in order to maintain a constant gas pressure. It will automatically switch to the full tank when the other is empty.

  • Can Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator be Used as Manual Changeover
    There is not a way to manually change tanks when using the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005, although you can keep one of the tanks turned off at the cylinder valve. The other thing you can do is use 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59313, which uses a single pigtail, and switch between your tanks by disconnecting and reconnecting the supply hose each time. I have added links to some video reviews for you to check out as well.

It will connect to your propane tank and then to your regulator. I recommend the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 to connect your two pigtails. This features a gauge indicator to warn you that the tank pressure is decreasing and you will need to refill your propane tanks so you don't run out. These...

    The Camco 90-Degree Brass Propane Tee # CAM59143 can be attached to dual tanks with the correct adapters/hoses but hooking two tanks directly to this tee would cause them to backflow into each other. You would need to use a regulator like # CAM59005 that has two inputs and one output fitting and then run an adapter hose from the output of the regulator to this tee.

  • LP Hoses to Use with Camco Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005
    The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 that you referenced has 1/4 inch inverted SAE flare fittings. For a 24 inch hose to fit that you would need the # CAM59153. In case your 3/4 inch line is actually a Soft-nose P.O.L. connection you could use the adapter # 37207-30085 with a # CAM59153 to go from the regulator to the feed line.

    The longest pigtail (portion that connects to tank) that we carry is 5 feet with part # 100575-60-MBS. Then for an automatic changeover that each tank attaches to you'd want the part # CAM59005. I attached a link to a page that has more info on propane hoses and how they typically are ran.

    To add a propane tank to your RV, I recommend the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks, # CAM59005.

  • How to Mount Camco CAM59005 Automatic Changeover Propane Regulator
    Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 does not include a mounting plate or bracket and we do not sell these as separate items. Often dual tank setups have a regulator mount built in. You can always use a simple bracket to mount it securely. Something like galvanized fender mounting bracket # CE26098G or # CE26061G will work in many applications. If not, a trip to your local hardware store should provide workable options.

  • 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,...

  • Pigtail Hoses Needed For A Camco Automatic Changeover Dual Propane Tank Regulator
    1/4" is the most typical fitting size for the inlets on an RV regulator but manufacturers typically throw whatever they have onto the trailers so the 1/4" size could've just been out of stock at the time your RV was manufactured or they just got a better deal on the other regulator. Personally, I would just swap out the pigtail hoses to make things easier and allow you to connect to the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005. You could use...

  • 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.

  • Could Camco Automatic Changeover Regulator be Used with Firepit

    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...
