Depending on the type of dual stage regulator you want, look at an RV parts and accessories catalogue. Pages 272-274 have many to pick from ranging in price from $ 24.99 - $ 59.99.

Thanks everyone,
It just been a bit confusing, so many choices out there. Never did find a make or model #, just know it's sitting horizontal. |

Okay, that is not a dual propane regulator. It is a dual-stage propane regulator. It is horizontal so that the vents are on the bottom. We had one like that before I changed to a dual-tank setup. There are many sources available for regulators as mentioned in posts above. When you get a replacement, but sure to mount it so the vents are on the bottom.

Let me revisit your first post. You say the regulator is leaking. Is it the regulator or the hose? I've had the pigtail from the tank to the regulator go bad on me. It leaked at the point where it screwed into the regulator. Use soapy water to determine where the leak is. If it is the regulator, it will need to be replaced. If it is the connections, they may just need to be tightened. If it is the hose, then whichever one is leaking will need to be repaired/replaced.

If you are looking for the best propane regulator, you may consider these popular brand such as Camco, Marshall Excelsior,.. I have used this Camco 59013, I had my 2022 Grand Design Reflection TT for 6 months and the on demand water heater started to throw the E-1 gas code when it would try to ignite every now and then. I thought it may be the regulator on the water heater because the stove and furnace seemed to work fine. Just as a thought, I decided to change out my main propane regulator and now I have no more problems with the water heater. The stove seems to have better flame as well, even though I did not recognize a problem before. But with the new regulator it seems that the flame is stronger.

Our original regulator failed after 8 years because I never turned the propane off unless the tank was empty, resulting in a black gooey liquid that plugged up both propane lines as well as the regulator. Lines were flushed out and cleaned and a new regulator Camco 59313 (2 stage regulator) was purchased. Lesson learned: disconnect propane line during winter storage that lasts for 6 months in northern Michigan. Regulator has been flawless since replacement.
