- Camco
- Dual Stage - Automatic Changeover
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.
by: Brian11/11/2022
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.
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: 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: Bill M.08/28/2017
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: 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.

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: Tom Nelson03/12/2017
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.

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: 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: William 11/18/2022
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: 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.

Bought hose’s to match the threads and the brass threads on this over priced regulator were all ready striped.
by: Marshall11/10/2018
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.

- Replacement Propane Regulator for a 2012 Rockwood Signature Ultralite Fifth Wheel TrailerA single stage regulator like the Camco Single Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59013 would still work for you but since you have dual 30 lb propane tanks I would recommend using a dual stage regulator like the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005 which has an auto changeover valve that will switch between tanks when one is empty. This system will be much better for your dual propane tank setup. If you do not already have the hose to connect each tank to...

Most house appliances are rated for LP like what this is designed for so this regulator should work well.

In order to hook up the generator without disconnecting either tank you'll want to add in a T-connector in-line with one of the tanks.

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.

For an automatic 2 stage changeover we have the part # CAM59005 which would work well.

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.

view full answer... - Will CAM59005 Propane Regulator Automatically Switch to Fresh TankThe # CAM59005 regulator you'd mentioned will automatically switch to the secondary tank once the primary tank is empty, so you won't need to manually switch the tanks over.

view full answer... - Does The Camco Dual Stage Automatic Changeover Regulator Have Mounting Holes On The BackThe product Camco Propane Supply Hose # CAM59183 you reference is a supply hose. There aren't any screw holes or mounting points on this product. I believe you meant to reference the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005, and this product does have the screw holes you reference.
view full answer... - Two Propane Regulators on RVYou probably do not need both and if they are connected in series then you do not want both, you are probably dropping your propane pressure below a usable psi. on the output of that second regulator. If they are not connected in series but each is connected to a separate propane supply then no need to remove unless you choose to combine. I do suggest you use a good 2 stage regulator such as the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks, # CAM59005.
view full answer... - Can a Propane Gas Gauge Be Used with an Automatic Changeover RegulatorIt is certainly possible to install a gauge between each tank and your automatic changeover regulator. For this I recommend using the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge # CAM59023 to tell how much gas is left in each tank. Green indicates a good amount of propane in your cylinder, yellow indicates you're approaching low levels and red means it's probably time to refill your cylinder. The # CAM59023 doubles as a leak indicator which is great! You also need Camco Propane Supply Hose part #...
view full answer... - Will The Camco Automatic 2-Stage Propane Regulator Work On 100lb Propane Tanks Yes, the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 would be able to regulate the pressure down to 11" WC but I would need to know the QCC1 adapter fitting to find a hose to go between it and the 1/4" SAE inverted flare inlets.

The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator is rated at 11" W.C. for up to 210,000 Btus so it will work well for your needs.

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.

The reason why we often give a solution for two 20 lb propane tanks using an automatic changeover like the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 is simply because that is what is standard on camping trailers and that will give you uninterrupted use without getting a different...
