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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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

1. Andersen Camper Wheel Chock and Leveler - AM3604
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 works very well, so glad I put this on my 2013 camper. I would recommend this to everyone who has a camper, as it makes changing the tanks much easer without getting air into the system.

Jim J.

11/10/2017

I love the propane regulator I bought from you last year. I will buy all my camper needs from your company as it seems our local dealers either do not have what I want or are priced higher, either way I am very happy with your company Thanks Jim



by:

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



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.

  • Can You Remove One Tank From A Dual Tank Regulator And Still Use It
    We don't carry the Marshall line but if it's anything like the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 the regulator should automatically switch over to whichever tank is open and full. The lever is simply to show you how full the tank is using the small green to red indicator. It wouldn't matter if one tank was closed since it would be the same as if the tank was empty and the regulator had to switch over to the other full tank. The only...

  • 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.

    I have a couple options that you can consider for your Champion Dual Fuel Generator. First is the simplest as everything can be easily attached to your current hose and regulator. The MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting w Hose # 103615 will add a tee fitting going into your regulator and allow you to have 2 separate tanks connected to your generator. This will use your current regulator to control the pressure going into the generator. There is a shut off valve for the one remote line that...

  • 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.

  • Could Camco Automatic Changeover Regulator be Used with Firepit
    Yes, assuming the fire pit was designed for low pressure propane you could use the changeover part # CAM59005 as a way to supply propane to it from two different tanks and it will automatically switch tanks.

  • What Would Cause EC Error Code on Fogatti Tankless Water Heater
    The EC error code mean that the Fogatti Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR tried to start the pilot light and was unable to due to low gas pressure. You'll want to have a licensed technician check to ensure you are actually getting 11"WC. It very well could be issues with the regulator and a new one would fix the problem like with the part # CAM59005.

  • How Long of a Propane Hose Do I Need Between My Tanks and Regulator
    There is not really a standard hose length that is needed to connect a propane tank to a propane regulator as it will all just depend on where you mount the regulator. However, when most people use the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005 they will attach it directly between the two tanks (see photo) for ease of access and use so this is what I recommend doing as well. In order to attach the tanks to the regulator while using it in this location I recommend...

  • 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 the Brass Adapters Be Removed on the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator
    The brass adapter fittings on the inlet sides of the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks part # CAM59005 simply convert the NPT threads on the regulator to inverted flare. If you have hoses with NPT fittings you can simply remove the adapters with a wrench. Please note, NPT fittings will require thread sealant like part # 37207-30025.

  • 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.

  • Are Back Check Valves Needed for the Camco Automatic Changeover Regulator Part # CAM59005
    The type 1 ACME hose like part # 100473-20-MBS that connects the propane tank to the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005 has a built-in back check valve therefore you will not need to use anymore with this regulator as long as the type 1 ACME hose you are using has this feature (it should). There will need to be one back check valve on each side of the regulator.

    The plunger in Camco's regulators like the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 is a plastic piece that is only red and green. If you're seeing black then the regulator is either defective or the plunger wasn't installed when the regulator was manufactured. Either way I recommend replacing the regulator with another so that you can have an accurate tank reading. If you'd like to go this route I recommend the Compact Low Pressure 2-Stage...

  • Connecting Two 30 Pound Propane Tanks with Changeover Regulator
    When connecting the two 30 pound propane tanks for your trailer you are correct that only the one dual changeover regulator, such as the Camco # CAM59005 is needed. The single GR-630 model regulator can just be removed and this should resolve the issue. It sounds like the previous owner either just used the tanks independently or like you mentioned just forgot to take the GR-630 off.

    The 21" Stainless Steel Furrion 2-in-1 Range Oven # FSRE21SABL has a 3/8” Male Flare fitting. If you are wanting to use a 20 or 30 lb propane tank with this oven then I recommend using the 4' # 100040-48-MBS, 6' # 100040-72-MBS, or 12' # 100040-144-MBS hose along with a dual stage regulator, part # 108220 with the fitting # 204120-MBS for a single tank or part # CAM59005 for dual tanks.

    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.

This means that only hoses that have the 1/4" male inverted flare, like part # CAM59053, will fit.
