Mark,
Yes, I understand that my existing propane regulator on my Westy is
adjustable. But there are two problems with the existing set up:
1. I have to get under the van to make the adjustment.
2. If I turn the w.c. inches down to improve fridge operation at altitude,
then the catalytic propane heater will not work properly since both lines
are controlled by the existing propane regulator.
Maybe calling what I'm looking for a 2nd propane regulator was a mistake.
Maybe we should call it an adjustable propane pressure reducing valve.
Thanks for your response.
