    Propane Regulator ???

    On our last short outing I notice refrigerator was not working on LP. Check stove top and sure enough no gas. When I got home, checked regulator and it showed green. Then I changed lever and it was still green but no gas at stove. I then disconnected both tanks but indicator remained green. I have also made sure tanks had gas, checked by weight and with a fish cooker direct to tank. The question, is the regulator bad or could there be something else I am overlooking? By the way, this is a 2018 reflection 303RLS that is about 6 months old.

    I had to replace the passenger side regulator on our 303rls. I walked by and could smell propane. Changed out the regulator and no more propane leak. The answer is yes it could be bad. Unless the safety valve is tripped from turning on your tanks to quickly. Try turning them back on very slowly so the safety valve doesn't get a rush of propane making the valve think there is a leak. It will reset automatically.

    Had to replace the propane regulator on my 297RSTS. While doing my pre-departure check list I found I had no propane flow. Made sure the tanks were full and the valves were opened slowly. Issue cured by replacing the regulator

    Propane regulators today are of very poor quality. I've had a couple go out on my gas grill. See no reason they wouldn't go out in my RV too. Replacements are easy to find.

    On my new 29RS the regulator does switch when a tank empties but the indicator shows 1/2 red and 1/2 green. Is this normal?

    Guess I will get a new regulator. I felt the regulator was probably the problem, just wanted to see if there may have been something I overlooked.

    If anybody out there is aware of a manufacturer that produces quality regulators, please speak up. I have had several of these units go bad.

    Underneath the kitchen slide , at the back end of the slide there is a propane quick connect , this has a valve on it and must be turned off. The valve is attached to the frame.
