Yep, US regulators are set at 27mb or 10.5~11 wci. The Syncro 16" camper I
own also has the Truma 2400 propane furnace, still connected to the German
regulator and tank (inside the kitchen cabinet, yikes!), never looked to see
what pressure the reg. is set at. Most likely the same as yours.

Anyway, it's going to be replaced by an Espar diesel furnace, kind of silly
to have a propane furnace when the van is diesel. SO, I have a complete
Truma 2400 for sale if anyone wants one! :-) Also have the Electrolux 3-way
fridge, heck, the whole cabinet if someone wants it, for sale. The fridge
runs great on the same reg. the Truma is connected to, so it is German-spec
too.
