One propane tank is missing the secondary seal but the new hoses have a protrubing brass nose so I just added an "ORing" to it and she sealed up fine.
In time past the nozzle seals were available and easy to change. Suppliers no longer carry the tank nozzle seals. Try to force you into buying a new tank. ORing is 2 cents...new tank 75 bucks!!
The regulator’s ability to automatically switch between two propane tanks is its standout feature. This ensures a continuous supply of gas, eliminating the need to manually change tanks, a real convenience during my travels. The indicator, which clearly shows which tank is in use and when it’s time to refill, is a practical addition that I found extremely useful for maintaining a hassle-free propane supply.
Installation was a breeze, and the build quality of the regulator is commendable – it feels sturdy and reliable. Whether it was for heating or cooking, the regulator adapted to different propane demands without any hiccups.
One of the most impressive aspects of this regulator is its performance in bitterly cold weather. Unlike some other models, it operated flawlessly, maintaining a consistent gas flow even in freezing temperatures. This reliability in cold weather is a significant benefit for anyone who loves winter camping or lives in a colder region.
Overall, this automatic switch over regulator is a top-notch accessory for any RV owner. It brings convenience, reliability, and peace of mind, enhancing the overall camping experience. For those looking to simplify their propane management, this regulator is an excellent choice.
Now some things to consider. You must have a post to support this regulator. You cannot have this just laying at the bottom of the tanks because the hoses are for short distance.
Second you may notice that the lines from the regulator to the tanks are short. They are very short, so short that you will be bending the lines and the stress transfers to the green female screw. Those green screw caps are plastic so over time they will get brittle and will break. But the bending of the lines gets a little scary. Just position everything as best you can. The only thing you can do is replace those lines with something longer which they do sell
Lastly it does not specifically say in the manual, but the "line out" is 3/8 inch. In my case my original hose to the tent trailer was 1/4 inch so I had to buy a new hose and a step down adapter piece as my tent trailer main line was 1/4 inch. make sure to check your lines to see what size they are and then order this along with any fitting(s) you may need.
Other than that the product has done what it says; swap over automatically and the red indicator tells you when it has switched over.
