- Dual Stage - Automatic Changeover
- Camco
This propane regulator lets you connect the 2 propane tanks on your RV to maintain a constant gas pressure. It automatically switches to the full tank when the other is empty, and you can remove the empty cylinder without interrupting propane supply.
Features:
- Dual propane tank regulator maintains consistent gas pressure from propane tanks flowing into your RV
- Automatic changeover switches flow to opposite tank after one depletes
- Built-in red/green gas gauge indicates when a cylinder is empty
- Remove and replace the empty tank without interrupting gas flow from the tank currently in use
Specs:
- Inlet: 1/4" SAE inverted flare
- Outlet: 3/8" NPT female
- BTU per hour:
- Service Cylinder: 210,000 BTU/hr
- Reserve Cylinder: 130,000 BTU/hr
- Nominal outlet pressure: 11"
- 1-Year warranty
The Camco Dual Propane Tank Regulator automatically switches to a full propane tank when the cylinder in service depletes. Though this changeover occurs on its own, the gas gauge will need to be manually rotated to point toward the reserve tank in order to accurately indicate the backup cylinder's fuel level.

I’m glad I found etrailer. They’ve had a lot of the parts I need and they’re service is good and staff is nice to deal with and knowledgeable.

Excellent item. It made hooking up my coffee trailer very easy to two tanks.

Best price and fast shipping. etrailer made it so easy. I received it on the day promised and easily installed it the same day. Works great!

Easy Install (drilled new holes in the backing plate) and it works like a charm.
We kept smelling faint propane odors and we were going through gas too fast. We replaced all hoses and re-certified the tanks, but still smelled a faint propane odor. So, we replaced the regulator. Because the old one was still fire-ing up the stove and furnace, we did not realize that when regulators wear out, they can leak gas. Such an inexpensive fix that we plan to get another to keep on hand.
We have purchased from etrailer in the past and will continue to do so.
Note: regulator is not touching the tanks (pictures are a bit deceptive) but it sits a few inches in front of the tanks.

This is the second of these Auto Changeover Regulators I have bought from etrailer. The first one went on my previous travel trailer and liked it so well, I bought one for my present unit. This newest travel trailer only had one tank. We boondock camp a lot, so one wasn't enough. These regulators come with the outlets straight out the sides, so I put L-fittings on the clean things up a bit. I love buying from etrailer, because they always ship fast and carry very good products. I've bought quite a few items over the years from etrailer, and they have never disappointed me yet,

I lived in the camper for 6 months after I purchased this product, so it was in continuous use for a while. Worked great, was still working when we parked the camper in April.

The regulator is a perfectly matched replacement, quality of product appears to be well made. Installation according with instructions simple to understand. Performance is satisfactory to original equipment. Delivered received a day ahead of scheduled. Order filled promptly. Thank you,.
by: David H.07/06/2019
I always appreciate the quick product delivery and followup from etrailer. I was disappointed this time, however, with the product. There were only two machine screws provided to attach the regulator to the bracket when there should have been four; the package containing the screws had been opened prior to being placed into the regulator package. Also, in my opinion, the supplier or manufacturer should have included a new mounting bracket for the new regulator rather than providing a very generic template and requiring the purchaser to adapt the regulator to an old bracket, not very efficient. I believe the regulator is good quality, but the attachment hardware could have easily been included for a better overall product.

The regulator seems to be working as expected. I never received any response from etrailer or the manufacturer to my comments regarding the attachment hardware I havent changed my opinion about that. It is a manufacturer issue, not etrailer.

I purchased a Camco 59005 propane regulator for a used travel trailer we recently purchased. I chose this item to complete an order for free shipping. I have had good service from Camco products. I was replacing a valve that was 11 years old (still working well), along with the aged rubber propane hoses. I have experienced that it is much easier and safer update rv equipment at home than in a campground while I am on vacation. Propane hoses get brittle and valves deteriorate, so I always replace anything questionable. I expect this Camco valve to give me years of good service. etrailer has treated me right on anything I have purchased from them!

Changeover valve has worked well and as expected over the last year. We used the trailer about 6 weeks this year.
by: Jamey M10/18/2017
Bought this to replace original regulator. Seems a little cheaper made and more light duty than my original, but EVERY regulator that I found by searching GR 9984 was shaped like this one so I bought from etrailer. Installed today and everything looks good. The bracket that Was on my original regulator bolted right on this regulator. I believe this is as close to my original as can be bought. Haven’t fired up all my appliances yet, but I think it will be great. If you’ve never had the auto changeover for your dual tanks before, you should buy this and give it a try.

Still holding up. No problems. Thanks

Replaced non-changeover regulator with this item. Worked great on my last travel trailer, expect nothing less on this one. Absolutely necessary to keep from guessing when you are out of propane. First became familiar with the auto-changeover feature on a 2002 fifth wheel, now I have one on my 24 ft travel trailer.

Installed this after depleting both tanks of gas on a trip. The changeover works great!
by: Gary11/23/2021
this regulator is not a direct replacement of the model 6020 Winntec regulator . I had to drill holes in the existing mounting bracket and the tapped holes had to be re-tapped to use existing screws. additionally I had to order different hoses for the tanks as the connection was different.

This regulator is designed to be an universal regulator that is used with a variety of trailers. You are correct in that it uses a pigtail like part # 100575-15-MBS that has an inverted male flare. The mounting holes on this regulator are spaced 3 inches apart on center left to right and approximately seven eights inches on center front to back.

New regulator and hoses on my 20 year old camper. When you smell propane and everything is tight it is a no-brainer. Appears to be very good quality and half the price of the regulator at a local RV dealer.

One year follow-up, no problems, propane is working fine on my 2000 model camper.
by: Jason08/18/2022
This was a replacement for a recall item and the dealership was taking forever to get the part in because of backorder, so I decided to find one myself. etrailer had exactly what I needed and it took only about a month to get here. Everything was as described and fit perfectly!
by: John G.06/15/2022
I put this onto a 2021 Jayco HT Eagle 5th wheel, to replace the OEM unit that was recalled. I bought this instead of getting a replacement through the recall because this replacement unit has a low gas indicator and auto-switching between two propane tanks -- in my mind, basic functionality.
by: Bill M.08/28/2017
Product has performed okay. Only issue I have is the color of the flag indicating the tanks have shifted is almost impossible to see without a flashlight.

Lasted about nine months then failed. Will no longer shift automatically. I replaced it with another brand because this is the second Camco regulator I have had to replace prematurely.
by: William 11/18/2022
The product was just has expected and installed has expected. The service that I received from James was exceptional. He listened to what I said and chose just the right product for my needs. I have had nothing but excellent service when working with the people at e-trailer

Bought hose’s to match the threads and the brass threads on this over priced regulator were all ready striped.

Very satisfied with the product. Easy installation. Like the feature of the part that shows you if the tank is empty and will switch to the other tank.. Delivery time was right on. Will order from them again.

So far so good. Great replacement to the one that failed. It's used in a remote cabin propane system similar to an RV setup.
Also very fast service.

Still working perfectly.
by: Robert03/16/2018
Purchased and received the regulator in the usual prompt etrailer way. Within two months the regulator failed shutting gas off to trailer leaving us without heat or gas for cooking. A call to etrailer customer service resulted in having to make a call to Camco support directly. Camco sent a replacement regulator within a week.
The replacement was installed and has been working troublefree since.
by: Epohler11/07/2019
This was replacing a original regulator that was on the camper when we bought it. This was a great replacement, fit perfect and works like it should. Fittings matched all the hoses and it was really easy to replace it myself. I was given some advice from etrailer on how to remove and replace it. The help was very positive and correct. Thanks etrailer.com.
by: AZ RVer08/17/2017
A problem with my RV refrigerator led to the replacement of the existing propane regulator. One of the problems with the fridge was that the propane could not be adjusted to 11 in of water and a 2 stage regulator was recommended,hence the replacement. Shipping was prompt and the hipping charges were very modest and reasonable. Hookup was straightforward, but a trip to the store was necessary to get a new bracket (Simpson "strong tie") and drill some new holes in it for the machine screws to attach the regulator to the bracket. (NOTE: The screws are METRIC). After installation all the gas appliances worked just fine and the refrigerator fired up with a good healthy flame. I cannot comment about the long term reliability, since I very recently installed this item.

- Troubleshooting A Furrion Tankless Water Heater That Won't LightThe Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 is able to have its pressure adjusted. You'll want to check that the pressure is actually 11" WC. If you have other items running at the same time you could be losing pressure. If you get the pressure checked at the # FR93FR and you are receiving 11" WC then your water heater has an internal issue and you'll need to contact Furrion for replacement.

- How to Mount Camco CAM59005 Automatic Changeover Propane RegulatorCamco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 does not include a mounting plate or bracket and we do not sell these as separate items. Often dual tank setups have a regulator mount built in. You can always use a simple bracket to mount it securely. Something like galvanized fender mounting bracket # CE26098G or # CE26061G will work in many applications. If not, a trip to your local hardware store should provide workable options.

You will simply unscrew the old regulator from the sidewall. Then, using a wrench, remove the supply hose. You then disconnect the 2 pigtails connected to the propane tanks from the old regulator then reconnect the pigtails to the new regulator. Next hook up the supply hose, and remount the new regulator to the sidewall and you are good to go. I have included...
view full answer... - Refrigerator Stopped Running off Propane Power but Worked with ElectricIt is hard to say but a gas smell would indicate a leak. You can track down a leak by the usual means: using a solution of soapy water to see where air bubble appear. No bubbles means no leak and in that case it does sound like some debris blocking the line or a valve that is sticking. Replacing the trouble part should solve the issue whether it be a leaking part, blocked part, or stuck valve.

- Troubleshooting Propane Regulator That Only Works on One SideStart off by checking your pigtail. If you change your switch so that it is turned towards the side that isn't working and then swap your pigtails as well this will tell you if you need to simply replace a pigtail or if your have a bad regulator. If you find that it works when you swap the pigtail as well then you just need to replace your pigtail. If your regulator has the gold fittings on it where the pigtail attaches then you need part # 100575-12-MBS. Otherwise you would need part...
view full answer... - Does Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks Work With a Single TankYes, the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 can be used with a single propane tank if you like. It is designed to automatically change over to the second tank when one is empty so what will happen is it simply won't change over and will always pull from the one tank.

- Proper Mounting Position for Camco Automatic Changeover Propane RegulatorI can help answer your question about the Camco Automatic Changeover Propane Regulator # CAM59005.

- Can Automatic Changeover Regulator be Used to Draw from Both Propane TanksAutomatic changeover regulators, like the Camco Automatic Changeover # CAM59005, are design to switch over completely and don't have a way to allow you to draw from both tanks automatically.

- Adapter to Allow Auxiliary Propane Tank to RV Propane SystemWe have a kit designed just for what you are looking for with the MB Sturgis T-Fitting w/ Hoses for POL Valve # 103539-MBS.

The other thing you can do is use 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59313, which uses a single pigtail, and switch between your tanks by disconnecting and reconnecting the supply hose each time. I have added links to some video reviews for you to check out as well.

We do not have any 25 foot long sections of propane hose at this time though.

- Should Propane Leak From The Hose When I Remove The Tank on Fifth Wheel TrailerYou are correct, gas should not be able to leak from the hose when you remove the tank. It sounds like you have a stuck or defective check valve in the regulator or the pigtail. Sometimes corrosion can build up and cause the back check valve to stay open. Some customers have been able to use a small amount of spray lubricant or PB Blaster to loosen up any build up that may have caused the check valve to stay open, but your best option is to replace the regulator and the hose completely,...
