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.

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: 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.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

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.

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

- Parts Needed To Connect Two 100LB Propane Cylinder Tanks to a GeneratorTo confirm that you will be able to use the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 you will need to ensure that the 11" nominal outlet pressure is enough to power your generator. This may be information that you can find in your generator owners manual or you may have to reach out to the manufacturer to get the information. The current regulator on your generator will have to be removed as the propane will not go through the additional regulator after going through...
view full answer... - Correct Fitting for Camco Pigtail 59053 to 2-Stage Regulator with Missing FittingThank you for all of the details on your situation! The fitting that you need to connect your Camco Propane Supply Hose # CAM59053 to the regulator, like part # CAM59005 (without one of the fittings), is the Camco # CAM59953. This has a 1/4" Male NPT end that connects to your regulator and then a 1/4" Female Inverted Flare end that you connect your pigtail to. The reason that the title don't match up with the fittings you are looking at is because the titles refer to the propane hose...

- Propane System Components on 5th Wheel or Travel TrailerI believe I understand what you are stating but the issue you are finding is in the location of the regulator and not with the components. The 11 inch water column is what is standard on any 5th wheel, travel trailer, or motorhome after the regulator whether it is a single stage like # CAM59013 or a 2-stage regulator like # CAM59313. This is a low pressure system at any point after that regulator, so if you were to put a regulator in-line prior to the crossover, it would give you an inaccurate...

It will not allow you to run propane to a second location. It also sounds like you are dealing with residential propane, which is a different category altogether. You would need to consult a residential...
view full answer... - What is the Pressure Output of Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005The output of Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 is indeed an 11 inch water column. You can use it with your current tank system. You will likely also need a POL to 1/4" MPT adapter fitting # 204037-MBS to use the regulator with a 100 pound tank.
view full answer... - Will I Need a Regulator for a Second Tank with CAM59005The 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.

view full answer... - Can Camco Automatic Changeover Regulator be Used with Two 100 lb TanksYes you can use the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 with two 100 lb tanks like you mentioned. This is designed for setups just like this and will switch to the other tank once the first one is empty.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting A Furrion Tankless Water Heater That Won't LightThe Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 is able to have its pressure adjusted. You'll want to check that the pressure is actually 11" WC. If you have other items running at the same time you could be losing pressure. If you get the pressure checked at the # FR93FR and you are receiving 11" WC then your water heater has an internal issue and you'll need to contact Furrion for replacement.
view full answer... - Can 1/4 Fittings Be Removed to Use 3/8 Hose for Regulator CAM59005I went out to the warehouse and took a look at regulator # CAM59005. I don't think using a 3/8 hose fitting will work. If that inlet fitting is removed the hole diameter is right about 1/2 inch. Though it could be that the outer diameter of your hose fitting is around 1/2 inch in which case it would work. To remove all doubt I recommend hose # CAM59065.
view full answer... - 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.

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...

There are four standoff tabs on the back of the regulator which you will use for mounting.

view full answer... - 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.

view full answer... - Will Furnace Pilot Light Stay Lit When Camco Changeover Regulator # CAM59005 Switches TanksThe Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 that you referenced switches tanks before the first one runs totally out. There would be a small amount of propane left in the first tank which allows pilot light to stay lit as the transfer takes place.
view full answer... - Should Two Propane Tanks Feed RV Accessories at One TimeSince propane appliances like heaters require low pressure propane there's not really an advantage to having both tanks feed appliances at the same time. Best option is an automatic changeover like the part # CAM59005 which will use one tank until it is empty and then switch over to the other. The pressure is reduced so much for LP that there really isn't a reason to ever need two tanks to feed one line.

I instead would use two separate systems an you will want to make sure the two additional tanks can also sit upright and have proper ventilation. You can use base # 37207-31535 for both or # CAM57236 for each. Then for the two tanks use the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005. The hose coming from the regulator could be a quick connect like # CAM59853 to make changing between the 2 tank systems...

- Recommended Parts to Convert Shasta Oasis Camper to Dual Tank Propane Set-UpYou can use Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 with your dual tank propane set-up. You'll also need a base for the second tank; we offer Camco part # CAM57236 and Stromberg Carlson # 2020-JR. If you prefer an enclosure for your tanks we offer Camco # CAM40532. You'll also need Camco Propane Supply Hose # CAM59065. I confirmed with my contact at Camco that the above are all you'll need. Pricing is shown on each item page.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting a Propane Automatic Changeover that Isnt Changing OverIt is possible that the regulator has gone bad in 4 months, but it is highly unlikely. As you have such small tanks, the issue may be that the outlet pressure isn't strong enough to recognize. The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 is designed for an outlet pressure of 11 inch WC. It may be that the regulator is still sensing the propane in the tank and yet isn't allowing it through because of the pressure lacking yet won't change over...

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.
