Video Transcript for Camco Propane - Adapter Fittings - CAM59023 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector. This gas gauge shows you when you propane cylinder is low. It's going to indicate when you have leaks. It's going to fit all propane tanks manufactured after 1995 and it's going to use type 1 connections for gas grills, RVs and boats. This unit installs between the regulator and the propane tank it does not require any tools. Overall length, pretty compact design.
It's going to measure right around 4 inches long. When it comes to the connects on this side you're going to have the acme nut on one end, this connects to your propane tank. You're going to have your acme thread and female POL on the other end that connects to an acme nut or male POL connector on your regulator. This does provide thermal protection in case of fire and excess flow protection in case of a broken gas line. Now on the dial you're going to notice 3 different colors. You're going to have the green area which means that you have a good amount of propane in your cylinder.
You're going the have the yellow area, that means that you're approaching low levels, and you're going to have the red area. That means that your cylinder should probably be refilled. Now I also want you to keep in mind that air temperature can affect the rate of propane use, so you'll notice that this unit references cold, cool day, and hot day. So when checking the dial for the propane level be sure to read the colored area that corresponds to the air temperature that day in order to get the most accurate readings and information. Now to use this as a system to check for leaks, you want to make sure that your propane cylinder valve is closed and that the burner controls on the appliance are off. Then you can open the cylinder on the propane tank.
Excuse me, open the propane cylinder valve to pressurize all the lines that's connected to your appliance, and then after a few second close the cylinder valve. If you do have a leak you'll actually notice the needle on the unit moving to the red area of the dial. That's going to indicate that you do have a leak somewhere in the system and then you can check for leaks. The unit does come with detailed instillation instructions. It's also going to walk you through basically what I just explained on how to check for leaks and it's also going to show you how to locate a leak. That's going to do it for today's look at the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector..

Figuring out how much propane I have left has been a big problem, so I invested in these gauges to help me keep on top of things. It was a little bit of a tight connection, but I managed to get them on and they seem to be functioning.
by: Mac T.11/17/2019
Everything I ordered fits and works great. The automatic switch over from one tank to the next on the regulator is perfect with no disruption in the gas line. Customer service was very helpful too when ordering the fittings.

Worked perfect for my application

I find having a gauge is a nice convenience on my RV tanks.

The gauge works great and helps me plan my next fillups when it is most convenient.
by: Jim H.08/03/2019
This product is working as advertised, indicating a full cylinder and detecting no leaks. Very pleased.
Well worth the very reasonable price.
by: Richard06/13/2016
Have a two 30lb propane tank system. Installed this on the secondary tank that I switch to once the primary runs low to better gage how much propane is left before filling is required. Gage sometimes "sticks" and needs a gentle tap but other than that it works as required. Very easy installation and fits into a fairly small area. Recommend measuring your area and reading the etrailer response on the overall gage length before ordering.
by: Jack11/04/2021
It leaked about two months ago. I liked the fuel levels show with temperature variations. Replaced with a another brand. Not sure what the warranty is on these. Still have one of the two purchased. Hopefully it will last longer.

I have an RV with two 10 gal tanks. I work out of town and wife lives in RV full time, uses oven and Heater all the time. Easy for her to check the amount left in the tanks so will not run out while baking in the over. Nothing worse than having to change tanks and running the cake or dinner!! Great help for sure and makes my life easier with the the wife. Always great products from etrailer and customer service is awesome. I go to them first for everything. Easy to install and read. I leave in over 100 degree heat summer and gets to freezing temp. in the winter have for over a year and still works great. Thanks guys and gals

Works perfectly
by: Donovan05/21/2020
So refreshing to do business with a company (etrailer.com) that is knowledgeable about their products and how they are used. They were so helpful in working with me to select the right products for my project. After receiving delivery I had a few questions about how to make the connections. I made a call to etrailer.com and again received excellent help. Vert satisfied with their service
by: Douglas02/02/2017
Easy to read. You need to take ambient temperature into account when viewing propane level, cuz when it's cold, you have a very different reading than when hot out. One of them is a bit sticky depending on the tightness of the connection, too tight and it won't read at all. Overall, a good product.
by: Jeff W. in Mississippi10/13/2016
As with everything I have ever ordered from etrailer.com this item arrived in a reasonable amount of time and has exceeded my expectations. I have a small travel trailer I use with my son for football weekends and etrailer.com is my go to for everything related to it.
by: Rhea08/30/2019
Thank you for the great service, and the products I ordered was just what I was looking for. Thanks again I put the tire cover on the spare and it look s great!, and I plan on getting the rest on my camper...when I do I'll sends pictures...
I'm one happy Customer, and when I need more accessories for my camper I will defiantly be ordering from etrailer.com

Great communications, well packed, and fast shipping.

Easy to install. No more running out of propane on the BBQ. And no more questing about which tank is in use on our 5th wheel camper.
by: dave k05/04/2015
On time: as advertised: great prices. That's why I continue to order from etrailer.
Installed both products in less than 15 minutes and both are working great.

Easy install, easy read, useful at home and with trailer.

Handy. Now I know if my bottle is getting low.
by: Jack11/21/2020
Finally found a propane fuel gauge that reads in all types of temperatures. Didn’t know this even existed. Don’t buy any other type especially the cheap ones. Fantastic
by: Terry01/11/2018
not accurate once tank approaches half empty. large enough to be inconveinient under propane tanks cover
by: Emmeline06/16/2019
Ten star rating. these people know what they are doing. purchased gauges and LP tank connectors.
by: P.J.06/01/2017
I don't trust the "green dot turns to red dot" system on the standard camper regulators. I prefer visual confirmation of my propane fuel level. This gauge fits the job and is priced right. Thanks etrailer!

The propane gauge works great.

Great product and great customer service. Notified me that the shipment might be slightly delayed, but as I was not in a great hurry, elected to wait; it was not a long wait. Product arrived quickly after and I am pleased.
by: Joseph12/10/2020
not the most dependable item I ever bought. I ended up buying a hand held scale to just weigh the cylinders.

- Can the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 Be Installed on a 100lb Tank?I spoke with my contact at Camco and he told me that the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 can be used on a 100lb propane tank with an adapter and still get accurate readings.
view full answer... - Length of the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak DetectorI pulled a Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 from our warehouse to measure its length and determined that it is 3-3/4 inches in length.
view full answer...
- Will Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector Work With 100 lb Tank?Yes, the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 will work with a 100 lb tank. This gauge will fit all propane tanks manufactured after 1995 and has an ACME nut on one end and an ACME thread and female P.O.L. on the other end.
view full answer... - Can Two of Camco Propane Gauge and Leak Detector be Used on Two TanksYes, if you use two of the Camco Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 on two tanks that are connected with a valve they will work. The gauges will need to be installed between the tanks and the valve that you're using to switch between tanks.
view full answer... - Will Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 Work with 100 lb Tank and HeaterYes, the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 that you referenced will work great with your 100 lb tank and heater as your application is what this was designed to work with.
view full answer... - Installing Camco # CAM59023 Propane Gas Gauge/Leak DetectorThe Camco # CAM59023 Propane Gas Gauge/Leak Detector would install between the regulator and the propane tank. One end of the gauge assembly would screw onto the tank, and the regulator would screw into the other end of the assembly.
view full answer... - Will Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge Work For 2-Tank Propane SystemThe Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge, part # CAM59023 is designed to work with a single propane tank. This attaches between the tank and the regulator. Per my contact at Camco, there is not a guage available for a 2-tank system.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Low Propane PressureTypically the situation you are describing is characteristic of a leak in line, a low BTU rating on the regulator, or an empty tank. If you filled your tank recently, and your regulator has the correct BTU rating, then you will want to check your hose lines for any indication of a leak. The wrong regulator would not offer the right amount of pressure for the appliances. If you are still unable to find a leak I recommend you take your trailer to a local qualified trailer service shop...
view full answer... - Can Camco Brass Propane Tee be Used with Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak DetectorYou can install the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 and the Camco Brass Propane Tee w/ 3 Ports # CAM59103 on the propane setup if you wanted to. The gauge will fit fine on the main feed line of the tank setup and then the Tee will allow you to connect to your propane grill.
view full answer... - Can a Propane Hose Get Clogged UpA propane hose can get clogged by debris or organic materials. So it is possible that is why you are not getting any gas through the line. It also could be a faulty regulator, valve, empty tank or a leak somewhere. You might consider a gauge and leak detector such as # CAM59023 to help you monitor the goings-on with the propane.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Propane Gauge Restriction Causing Generator to Not RunI've seen this issue several times and the culprit is generally the Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge # CAM59023. Start by removing your gauge to test the generator off of that. You want to have the regulator as close to the cylinder tank valve as possible. If you are still having the same issue your regulator is bad or there is something in your lines that is restricting flow to the generator. Both would need to be inspected by a propane distributor test facility.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Connect Two 40 lb Propane Tanks to Stove Top Since the stove top already has a regulator then all you really need is the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting w Hose # 103615 and 2 of the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 (1 for each tank). The T-Fitting connects in-line with 1 tank and the the quick-disconnect has a shut-off valve so you can switch between tanks when needed. I've attached a photo showing the different connections. The Male Type 1 outlet is where the line for the stove top will connect. Please...

- Availability of Fill Gauge For Propane TanksWe do indeed offer a propane tank gauge, as part # CAM59023. The gauge also detects leaks and is compatible with tanks manufactured after 1995. You can see a product video for the gauge by using the provided link.
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Connect Two 20-lb Propane Tanks TogetherTo connect your two 20-lb propane tanks together, you're going to need an automatic changeover regulator like the: -Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 which will switch propane tanks when one is empty. Additionally, to connect the propane tanks to the regulator, you'll need an pigtail hose # CAM59053. Finally, I also recommend adding a gas gauge # CAM59023, which will allow you to check on how much propane is left in your tank and will...
view full answer... - Can the Camco 90-Degree Brass Propane Tee # CAM59133 be Used with Camco Propane Cylinder Gas GaugeIf you kept the threaded lid on the Camco 90-Degree Brass Propane Tee # CAM59133 you could use it as just a 90 degree adapter with the # CAM59023.
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... - How to Connect Two 20 Lb Propane Tanks TogetherIn order to connect two 20 lb propane tanks to one another you are going to need a regulator with an auto changeover feature like the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59005. This regulator will pull from one tank until that tank is empty then it will automatically draw from the second tank. You can then use the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector part # CAM59023 to tell how much gas is left in the tank and the Camco Propane Supply Hose part...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Low Propane Pressure to GrillPropane cannot be over-regulated so assuming both regulators are rated the same the output will be the same. It sounds like you may have a leak that is causing you not to get the appropriate amount of pressure to your grill or potentially a faulty regulator. Sometimes propane hoses can get clogged as well but since you mentioned you have a new hose we can likely rule that out. What I recommend is using the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 which will tell you...
view full answer... - Propane Level Checker For A 2018 Cruiser Styker Toy HaulerWe do not carry the handheld propane level checker like the one you mentioned, but what we do have is the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge # CAM59023. This will install between your propane tank and regulator, and displays your current gas levels, as well as, showing for leaks.
view full answer... - Can Camco Tank Gauge CAM59023 be Used with Pigtail Harness 100833-12Yes, the tank gauge part # CAM59023 can install with the pigtail harness part # 100833-12.
view full answer... - Propane Gauge Compatibility with 100 lb TankThe Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 will fit on your 100 lb tank if there are threads on the outside of the valve. Most tanks have both outside and inside threading, but if you only have the inside threading then you will need an adapter like # 204128-MBS.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Propane Supply Problem with Horizontal Tank of 2008 NorthStar Pop Up CamperIt does sound like the pigtail is the issue. They often have a backflow preventer on them and it sounds like yours is malfunctioning. I recommend using the Propane Hose with Back Check - Type 1 x 1/4" Male NPT - 20" # 37207-30865. The tank orientation can absolutely be an issue as vertical tanks should never be used horizontally. There are horizontal tanks that should be utilized for your application. If you are using a vertical tank in a horizontal position this could be the issue...
view full answer... - Measure Level of Propane in two 120-pound Propane TanksThere are several methods to try and determine the amount of liquid propane remaining in a tank. The first is a pressure gauge like the Camco # CAM59023. This reads the pressure of vapor propane which remains steady until mostly empty then the needle moves quickly to empty. However, Camco does not recommend this product for 2-tank systems. The next method involves measuring the temperature of the tank walls comparing the vapor gas at the top of the bottle which will be nearly room temperature,...
view full answer... - System Control Panel For Water A Pump, Water Heater, And Has LP Gas GaugeWe do not carry control panels for RVs as of this time. You would have to contact the manufacturer. From the model number you provided it sounds like you may have the In-Command system. If you are wanting to change those specific items to a switch panel. The Replacement Double-Panel On/Off Switch for Dometic Gas / Electric Combination Water Heaters - White Item # AT91230 will allow you to connect your water heater and pump however; it does not have an lp gas gauge.
