Replacing Winntec 6020 Regulator on RV Propane Setup

Question:

Looking to purchase a JR 37207-31525 to replace my Winntec 6020 regulator. New hoses: JR 37207-30775 and JR 37207-30715 or 37207-30745. Questions: Can you tell me if Im buying the right and/or better regulator? The hoses I mentioned have a Back Check in them. Not sure what thats for and if I need? Brackett for Winntec reg the same as JR reg? Any recommendations welcomed! RV is a Grand Design, Imagine, 2016

The Winntec 6020 regulator that you referenced is a low pressure regulator like what the JR part # 37207-31525 you referenced is designed to replace which will work great. The pigtail you'd need depends on the length that works best for you. # 37207-30775 is 3 feet with a back check, # 37207-30745 is 20 inches with a back check, and # 37207-30715 is 1 foot with a back check. Back checks prevent the hose from leaking in reverse basically where it attaches to the tank. It's a great feature without really a downside.
