Question

Question:

Most RV propane accessories are actually low pressure and not high pressure like the # 108072 you referenced. If you have something that specifically calls out high pressure this would be the regulator you'd need, but if you are looking for a regulator for general RV use you'd instead want the # 108221 instead.
