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:

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:

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:

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

12/29/2018

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

9/9/2018

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

Kevin H.

6/11/2020

Still working perfectly.



by:

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.

Tom N.

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:

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:

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:

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



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:

The regulator is working perfectly. It is performing great in below zero temperatures.

Marc C.

12/28/2018

The regulator is trouble free and in use everyday since installation.

  • How to Correctly Measure a Propane Hose
    In order to correctly measure a propane hose you will need to measure end to end (fitting to fitting). The propane hoses we sell are by the foot so this may make it easier to determine what you need. It is also a good idea to get a hose that is a bit longer than what you need to account for any errors during measuring. For example, the MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly part # 100383-48-MBS is 4' long end to end. I have attached a list of our propane selection for you as well.

  • Where Should My Propane and Carbon Monoxide Be Mounted In My Trailer
    I'll start off by saying that we don't carry any type of copper or flexible steel hoses since those types of gas lines can only be purchased by those who are certified to install them. But we do carry the parts you'll need to get from the propane tank to the regulator and then into your trailer's propane line. To run from the tank to the regulator you'll need something like the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/Backcheck # 100473-20-MBS which will connect to a Type 1 propane fitting similar to...

    For an auto changeover propane regulator, I recommend using the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005. In order to install this regulator on your trailer you will need to attach each of your tanks to either side of the regulator with a hose like the Camco Propane Supply Hose part # CAM59053 (12"), part # CAM59065 (15"), or part # 100473-20-MBS (20"). The regulator will need to be mounted fairly close to the tanks and then the lead hose can carry the propane...

  • 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,...

  • Is a Regulator Needed for Propane Dual Tank Setup that Cavagna 924N Dual Regulator
    The Cavagna 924N that you have actually is a regulator. It is an automatic changeover style regulator very similar to the part # CAM59005 that you referenced which means you don't need to add a regulator to the tank you have that does not have one.

  • Size of Propane Hose to Go From Tank to Regulator on RV
    Most regulators like the part # CAM59005 have an inlet of 1/4 inch SAE and an outlet of 3/8 NPT. It would be out of the ordinary if your tank to regulator wasn't 1/4 inch SAE inverted flare. Part # CAM59053 has this style of fittings on both sides. Part # 100040-144-MBS has 3/8 inch on the other hand. Heres how you tell difference between 3/8 NPT and 1/4 NPT. The difference is the outside diameter. 1/4 inch is .540 outside diameter on the threads and 3/8 inch is .675 inch.

  • Could Camco Automatic Dual Changeover Regulator be Used with Westinghouse Generator
    You'd have to check with Westinghouse but most likely they require LP (low pressure) propane so a regulator like the part # CAM59005 would work great. Since this is the most common pressure rating for RV applications I'd be shocked if you needed something different. LP is 11 inch water column for pressure.

If you have other items running at the same time you could be losing pressure.
