Will I Need a Regulator for a Second Tank with CAM59005
Published 11/24/2015 >
Question:
I have a 2012 Montana Big Sky fifth wheel with two 7 gallon propane tanks, one on each side on the fifth wheel. I just installed a camco dual switch model 201 regulator. Do I need a regulator for the second propane tank?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The 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.
