The difference between the Camco Propane Fitting - 200,000 Btu/hr - Green # CAM59923 and the Camco Propane Fitting - 70,000 Btu/hr - Black # CAM59933 is the Btu/hr rating. Based on my research, the Btu/hr needed is determined by the component(s) using the propane, such as a stove, oven, or water heater.

With your smaller pop-up camper, I think you should be fine to use the #CAM59933 rated at 70,000 Btu/hr. You will want to double check the Btu ratings on you trailer's appliances that use propane to ensure that you will not need a higher rated fitting.
