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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

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:

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.



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:

The dual propane tank rack I ordered works great! I installed it on the frame of my pop up camper, and changed from single tank to two tanks. I also ordered the regulator and the pigtails for the tanks. So happy with the ship time and installation.



by:

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

  • Camco Automatic Changeover Propane Regulator Not Switching Tanks
    I spoke with my Camco rep, and was told that the tanks should automatically switch, but the indicator knob on top of the regulator will not switch itself. So, If your first tank has been emptied, and the second one is full but no gas is flowing, the regulator is faulty and would need to be replaced.

  • 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.

  • How to Check Propane Tanks with Camco RV Propane Tank Cover # CAM40532 Installed on Them

  • How Do You Know If An RV Propane Regulator Is Bad
    The best way to test a propane regulator is by the process of elimination. The reason for this is that there is not really any easy way to test the regulator yourself without certain tools such as a manometer. Therefore, it will be much more convenient to simply rule out other causes such as a bad appliance or faulty hose. Since the hose is still good as you said, odds are the regulator is bad as this is generally one of the more common fail points in a propane system. For replacement,...

  • 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.

  • Can the Camco Propane Regulator Part # CAM59005 Be Used in a Cottage
    The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005 will be sufficient to power most small appliances in an RV. However, in order to determine if it will work for the refrigerator and stove you have in your cottage, you will need to take the per hour BTU rating of the refrigerator and add that to the per hour BTU rating of the stove. Most small refrigerators will consume around 500 BTU's per hour and most gas stove's will consume around 7,000 BTU's per burner per...

  • Installing Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator on 2013 Rockwood RV
    It is actually quite easy to install the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks, part # CAM59005. You will simply unscrew the old regulator from the sidewall. Then, using a wrench, remove the supply hose. You then disconnect the 2 pigtails connected to the propane tanks from the old regulator then reconnect the pigtails to the new regulator. Next hook up the supply hose, and remount the new regulator to the sidewall and you are good to go. I have included...

  • Could Camco Automatic Changeover Propane Regulator # CAM59005 Be Used with 100 lb Tanks
    If the two 100 lb tanks you have use 1/4 SAE inverted flare connectors and are rated for 160,000 BTU the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 would work well for you. Most likely your tanks have a POL style fitting, but what you should do is check out the link I attached that shows all of the fitting styles and compare them to your tank.

  • 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.

  • Can the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator Be Used With a Sportsman Generator
    While in theory, you would be able to use the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 to switch from one propane tank to another while using your generator. The issue actually comes from the generator and more specifically the hose for the generator. Most generators require that you use the included hose to supply the propane. This hose typically has a built in regulator and would prevent you from using the # CAM59005 because if you double regulate the propane,...

  • Does Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks Work With a Single Tank
    Yes, the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 can be used with a single propane tank if you like. It is designed to automatically change over to the second tank when one is empty so what will happen is it simply won't change over and will always pull from the one tank.

  • Can RV Propane Source be Regulated Twice and Still Function
    If you try to use two regulators you will most likely have too low of pressure you run your propane accessories. We had a customer come back who tried to use a RV gas grill that was regulated from a propane source that was already regulated and the pressure was too low for the grill to work properly. I attached a link to a help article on RV propane systems for you to check out as well.

  • 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.

  • Can Automatic Changeover Regulator be Used to Draw from Both Propane Tanks
    Automatic changeover regulators, like the Camco Automatic Changeover # CAM59005, are design to switch over completely and don't have a way to allow you to draw from both tanks automatically. The beauty of this feature is that you can remove the tank that isn't currently being used so that you can replace it with a full tank.

    As long as the attachment requirements of your two 100 pound tanks match that of those on the Camco Automatic 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005, you can certainly use a two tank system. The inlets on the regulator have 1/4 inch inverted flare connections and the unit is rated for 160,000 BTUs an hour.

  • How is the Camco Changeover CAM59005 Typically Mounted
    You would want to mount the Changeover part # CAM59005 vertically as that is how they are normally installed. Basically the two fittings that are gold in color will end up between the bottles and the other fitting on the portion of the product with the blue cap will face down.

  • 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.
