I Do Not Have Gas Coming Out With Dual Regulator On Camper

Question:

Trying to light the stove pilot for first time since we bought this camper. Seems to be no gas coming out. The regulator has a dual on the front but no idea what it is for?

A dual regulator like what you have in the photo is a changeover regulator designed to switch from one tank to the other if one of them is empty. If it's a manual changeover then you will have to physically switch over to the other tank if one of them is empty. If it's an automatic changeover then it should change over automatically if it's in working order. From what I can tell your Marshall Brass regulator is just a standard manual regulator so if one tank is empty you should be able to switch it over yourself.

Be sure that the valves on the tanks are open when you try to switch it over to the other tank. If you are sure there is propane in one of the tanks and you still do not get gas after switching the lever open, then you may need to replace the regulator.

I recommend replacing it with Camco Automatic Changeover regulator part # CAM59005. The Camco automatic changeover regulator automatically switches to the other tank when one of them is depleted.
