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.

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: 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: Steve H06/21/2020
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.

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: 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: 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: 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.

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.

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 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.

- Regulator Kit Recommendation for 2006 Fleetwood NiagaraI looked up your 2006 Fleetwood Niagara and it looks like it uses two tank setup like what a lot of pop up campers use. So for a regulator designed for dual tanks with an automatic changeover we have the Camco Regulator part # CAM59005 which allows you to connect both of your tanks to a hose for your heater. If you need new pig tail assemblies between the tanks and the regulator we have the part # 100473-12 which is a standard 12 inch long pigtail. None of these have O-rings though.

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.

- Will Camco Automatic Propane Changeover Regulator Work For Home UseIf the 2 100 lb tanks you have match the attachment requirements of the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005, you should be able to use it. The inlets on the # CAM59005 have 1/4 inch inverted flare connections and the unit is rated for 160.000 BTUs an hour. You will want to check with the authorities to make sure you can use propane tanks in this manner. They may have special requirements you need to follow.

- Can Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator be Used as Manual ChangeoverThere 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.
view full answer... - Do Both Propane Tanks on a Dual Stage Regulator Need to be OpenThe Camco Vertical 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59313 will not require that both tanks be opened in order to function but you can if you choose to do so. You will however, need to close off both tanks before either of them are removed. This regulator only has a single 1/4" NPT inlet so both tanks will need to be spliced into one another whereas the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005 has dual 1/4" NPT inlets so both tanks can be attached directly....
view full answer... - Can Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 Draw From Both TanksThe Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 that you referenced will only draw from one tank at a time and does not draw from both at the same time.
view full answer... - Recommended Automatic Changeover Regulator and Pigtail to Add Second Propane TankThe Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 will allow you to use the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/ Back Check - Type 1 x 1/4" MPT - 30" # 100473-30-MBS to connect your second propane tank to the one mounted on your RV. If you RV tank is not a standard Type 1, then let me know and we can look for other options.

- Automatic Changeover Propane Regulator Recommendation for a 44,000 BTU/hr Gas StoveThe Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 will best fit your needs. It has a 210,000 BTU/hr rating for the Service Cylinder and a 130,000 BTU/hr rating for the Reserve Cylinder, as well as a nominal outlet pressure of 11" WC. This regulator has the standard 1/4" SAE inverted flare inlets and 3/8" NPT female outlet so it should match right up with what you have. Attached is a review video for you to reference.

There is not a specific manual changeover regulator we carry as this has an indicator to help you know when one tank is depleted and the manual check to remind you which was the main supply when the other is being used. If you want just the singe connection at a time, many people will simply...
view full answer... - Does the Camco Automatic Changeover Regulator part # CAM59005 Mount Vertically or HorizontallyThe Camco Regulator part # CAM59005 needs to be mounted vertically. There is print on the top of the regulator that states it needs to be mounted with opening facing vertically down.
view full answer... - Can Camco Dual Tank Regulator # CAM59005 Replace Single Regulator When Converting to Dual TanksYes, since you are going to a dual tank setup the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 would be what you'd use in place of your current regulator. This will handle the regulating duties for both tanks and will automatically switch between the two tanks as needed! I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

- Can LP Regulator CAM59005 be Used with LP Log SetYes the LP regulator part # CAM59005 will work on your LP log set.
view full answer... - Regulator Recommendation for Powering Propane Space Heater with Two TanksThe 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.
view full answer... - Recommended Automatic Changeover Regulator for Emergency Response Trailer with GeneratorI recommend using the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 since it has a built-in red/green gas gauge indicates when a cylinder is empty and allows you to change the empty tank without interrupting the flow from the full tank. This regulator will work well with the generator and appliance setup you've got in your Emergency Response trailer.
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... - Automatic Changeover Propane Regulator for Dual Tank SystemYes 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...

The propane regulators we offer will all reduce the water column down to 11" which can be used on 20lb, 30lb, 50lb, 100lb etc. propane tanks. In order to replace your regulators you can either use the Camco Vertical 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59313 or the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005 which are both Camco products.

When you switched the gas gauge after the automatic changeover did it go to green? If it did not that would mean the regulator has an internal issue and needs to be replaced. If you got it less than a year ago, the regulator does have a 1-year warranty and can be replaced that way; otherwise you would need to purchase a new one. I've added a link to a video...
