Camco Propane Fittings - CAM59005
- Regulators
- 3/8 Inch - Female NPT
- 1/4 Inch - FIF
- Dual Stage - Automatic Changeover
- Camco
This propane regulator lets you connect the 2 propane tanks on your RV to maintain a constant gas pressure. It automatically switches to the full tank when the other is empty, and you can remove the empty cylinder without interrupting propane supply.
Features:
- Dual propane tank regulator maintains consistent gas pressure from propane tanks flowing into your RV
- Automatic changeover switches flow to opposite tank after one depletes
- Built-in red/green gas gauge indicates when a cylinder is empty
- Remove and replace the empty tank without interrupting gas flow from the tank currently in use
Specs:
- Inlet: 1/4" SAE inverted flare
- Outlet: 3/8" NPT female
- BTU per hour:
- Service Cylinder: 210,000 BTU/hr
- Reserve Cylinder: 130,000 BTU/hr
- Nominal outlet pressure: 11"
- 1-Year warranty
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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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,

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: David H.07/06/2019
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.

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: Jamey M10/18/2017
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.

Still holding up. No problems. Thanks

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.

Installed this after depleting both tanks of gas on a trip. The changeover works great!
by: Gary11/23/2021
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.

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.

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

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.

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: John G.06/15/2022
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: Robert03/16/2018
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: Jason08/18/2022
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: Kevin H.06/10/2019
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.

Bought hose’s to match the threads and the brass threads on this over priced regulator were all ready striped.
by: Epohler11/07/2019
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: AZ RVer08/17/2017
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.

- What Type of Propane Pressure Does Faulkner BBQ Grill part # FR51322 Run OnThe Faulkner BBQ Grill part # FR51322 is a low pressure system that is designed to run at around 11" water column. You'd need to install a low pressure regulator on your RV like the # CAM59005 if you do not have one already so that the pressure is correct for the grill.
view full answer... - Replacement Pigtail Propane Hose with 1/4 MPT FittingThanks so much for the pictures and I'm sorry to hear about your accident! I hope everyone is okay. The correct replacement hose for your regulator is the MB Sturgis # 100473-12. This hose measures 12" long but various longer units are available, which I have linked below. The brass fitting/adapter you see on your existing hose is what is seen on some regulators, such as with the Camco # CAM59005. These are typically installed and kept on the regulator itself but sometimes are put on...

- Propane Hose with 1/4" Male Fitting Does Not Fit Regulator with 1/4" Female FittingFrom the picture that you attached it looks like the regulator has a 1/4" SAE inverted flare, like the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 does. This means that only hoses that have the 1/4" male inverted flare, like part # CAM59053, will fit. Since the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/ Back Check # 100473-15-MBS that you purchased does not have the inverted flare you will simply need to remove the fitting that is currently on your regulator and install the Sturgis...
view full answer... - Are Back Check Valves Built Into the Leader Hose for a Propane Regulator Yes, the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/ Back Check part # 100473-30-MBS would replace the leader hoses on your trailer that lead from the propane tanks to the propane regulator. All of the leader hoses have back check valves. If you would like to upgrade to an auto changeover regulator we do have the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005.

If you're seeing black then the regulator is either defective or the plunger wasn't installed when the regulator was manufactured.

- Will I Need a Regulator for a Second Tank with CAM59005The 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.

Next hook up the supply hose, and remount the new regulator to the sidewall and you are good to go. I have included...

You want to select one so that when mounted its vent hole faces down. This will allow water to leave the regulator. Regulators are well-sealed so you do not have to worry about moisture. Camco part # CAM59005 is a two-tank regulator with 1/4-inch SAE inverted flare inlets and a 3/8-inch NPT female outlet. This unit is intended for vertical installation...
view full answer... - Does Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Regulator Need A Cover?The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 does not need a cover. We only have one cover for regulators and it is the cover for vertical 2 stage regulators # CAM59344 like # CAM59313. This cover will not fit on the changeover regulator, but is not needed.

If it's an automatic changeover then it should change over automatically if it's in working order.

To use it with POL fittings an adapter or hose would be needed. I have linked the fitting adapters we have below. We do have regulator # CAM59333 which does connect to a POL but it is not an automatic changeover type of regulator.
view full answer... - Does the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator Freeze UpWhen 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.
