Any two-stage RV-rated LP regulator that provides an output pressure
of 11" W.C. (i.e. will raise a column of water eleven inches; around
six ounces per square inch IIRC) will do.  The original square
design, the Marshall Brass 260, is no longer made as stress
concentrations led to diaphragm leaks in the corners.  The currently
available 290 series is a bit longer -- you can just barely bend the
lines going to the van enough to fit without crimping them badly.
