Expert Answers about RV Water Pressure Regulator
- What is the Difference Among Single Stage Regulators for RVs and Trailers
- The important thing to look at in a regulator is the water column pressure rating or W.C. because that is how you will see propane accessories rated. Propane appliances in RVs and trailers run off of low pressure and pretty much all regulators, including # CAM59013, will reduce the pressure to an 11 inch water column rating.
A single stage regulator does it all in one stage. On a dual stage regulator the pressure is reduced twice but still down to an 11 inch W.C. If you need to replace...

- The different water pressure regulators has to do with the construction of the material (brass/stainless steel), pressure range (40-50 psi/50-55 psi etc.), and additional features such as the inclusion of a gauge or built-in bend. I am not sure exactly what two products you are referring to as we offer several from each brand but they will both work to reduce the water pressure entering the trailer. I have attached a list of options for you. The difference in price has to do with the reasons...

- The MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # 108221 and the Camco Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59323 are both horizontal mount two stage regulators. You will not have any problems using either of them on your 2015 Coachmen Clipper 17BH. However, I recommend the MB Sturgis regulator as it can handle more Btu's in addition to having the capability of reducing water columns down to 9" which will allow for proper function in extremely cold temperatures. The Camco...

- Most RV propane systems use a low pressure regulator because the appliances are low pressure. You can check the information stamped into your regulator to determine if it is high or low pressure or offers both. High pressure regulators are usually 30 psi, such as # 108072.
Hoses for high pressure systems are built to handle the higher pressure. Many hoses do not specify if they are high or low pressure and can generally be used for either system. The fittings on each type may have different...
view full answer... - Is it Better to Use a Single-Stage or a Two-Stage Regulator for Your Appliances
- Though your heater unit has a built-in regulator, it is only capable of handling a very narrow flow rate range. For this reason, it's best to not consider an appliance's built-regulator as a replacement for the second stage for a two-stage regulator.
I recommend going with a two-stage regulator as they are going to ensure that the flow rate going to your appliances is a constant 11" water column pressure.
The regulator that you referenced, part # CAM59013, is a single-stage and best used...

- The simple answer is that you should not experience any impact. All of your appliances will continue to work fine.
Both the Automatic Changeover RV LP Gas Regulator # 37207-30395 you had and the Compact Low Pressure 2-Stage Automatic Changeover RV LP Gas Regulator # 37207-31525 you now have are 2-stage, automatic changeover regulators. They will perform in the same way.
There are essentially 2 differences. Those would be the size and BTU rating.

- Thank you for your purchase of the Atwood Gas and Electric 10-Gallon Water Heater # AT94186 to replace your RV's failed unit.
In most RV applications an electric power source will tend to be more consistent than a gas source and so for that reason Atwood's technician told me that in typical use electric power delivers faster heating of the water. This is not a rule so much as simply the typical behavior of these devices.
RV gas pressure can change quite a bit from when a tank is full...
