I love the fact that with this propane subject - you take the time to repeat issues and do's & Don'ts with respects myths and the over all workings of the regulators. I appreciate you taking the time too DRILL IT in our heads as to what and how the regulators really work!! No doubt you are saving people a lot of trouble...damage & most likely lives!! Thank you for all the work you put into this...greatly appreciated!!

Repetition is necessary for all of us "Baby Boomers" who have to take notes so please continue stressing certain important content in your classes sir. You do a great job explaining everything ! 😊

[russellhancock]

I can't walk very good anymore, but I am sure that this can help a lot of people.

This was so helpful, took notes, and learned about the regulator being a vital part of the propane system. I know nothing about an RV but hoping to learn so much more.

Just finished my level 1 course on propane. Great informational video. Thanks Don

[jonrico]

Hello Darren, you mentioned you took Organic Chemistry. I was a Biology major and that course was no joke as half the class failed. The most difficult two couses in the program

[douggheen]

Thank for this video. I was able to determine I need a new regulator due to gas escaping from the vent port. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

[stnkyp]

Excellent video with a wealth of information. Thank you.

[oysterjohn]

Thanks. I learned a bunch about regulators and hoses.

[thomasfleming]

Thank You for the free refresher course.

[henrymorgan]

Great video! I learned something today! Thank you!

[renemarcoux]

Vraiment intéressant et tellement bien expliqué!

[robbypro]

I was a mechanical and electrical Engineer for a medical and aerospace silicone manufacturer so I like your videos to see if you know what your talking about. You explain everything very well. Getting too technical will lose viewers.

Great video on rv propane regulators. Thanks

Hi, Thank you for such expert advise. I am still having trouble on my ice fishing house. (The season is almost upon us!) The fish house has an Atwood stove/oven and the burners are "pulsing" when I light it. Last winter the flame completely shut off and I couldn't light the range until i warmed up the tanks and regulator. Prior to the ice fishing season, I had the pigtails disconnected for most of the summer. Could moisture/humidity gotten into the regulator and iced up when the temps dropped? Is it an oil issue? I have replace the tanks in the mean time and even in the summer weather, the flame on the range pulses. You had mentioned that the lines need to be "blown" out. How do I do that. Thank you so much for all your help, I need to be able to make coffee this winter you know!!

The #41 hole for the 50% load test, does that correspond to a hole made with a #41 drill bit. I know this may be obvious to some but I'd rather confirm this with you. Thank you again.

[timothyallen]

Great video! But, if I understand you correctly, the outside vent to one side of the main regulator diaphragm allows changes is atmospheric pressure to “adjust” the flow of propane going downstream, thus giving one the proper flame size, and thus the proper heat?
Also, we have had our travel trailer’s regulator changed out twice due to being noisy, and it still squeals or makes little popping sounds. We turn off our water heater at night so that it’s quieter. Ugh.

[collettesnoozy]

The regulator we bought for our pop up doesn’t have a vent. We do have a heater, hot water tank and stove. We also have a stove connection on the outside. Two size hoses and my husband had to get brass fittings to adapt that. We’re going to use it for the first time next month. 1993 Fleetwood. What are your thoughts?

[dpattable]

Good evening I have a question I think you can help me with. I have a westinghouse wgen 12000DF generator and it already has a pressure regulator on it from the factory. I purchased a camco Propane Double stage auto-changeover regulator thinking i could connect it to my 2 60 pound tanks. It will not run on propane because its not getting enough propane. Can the pressure be raised on the changeover regular to allow more propane to flow through the second regulator normally to run.
