At the Camping Nerd, I write about our favorite camping and RV gear. If you are starting to notice dark black marks forming around your water heater or even in your RV kitchen by the stove you either have something in the burner that is causing soot or you have a weak flame that is not burning cleanly. If your automatic system starts to malfunction it may be an early sign that your regulator is starting to go bad. I would start with the propane regulator then move on to the water heater, the fridge, the furnace, and then the stove.

Thank you. Hope this helps, good luck with the regulator. You can reset the propane regulator by turning off the propane tanks and making sure all your propane appliances are shut off.

The tank level indicator started showing red and wouldn’t reset and soon after the regulator started having issues keeping the correct pressure and the burners on our stove started popping and the flames got weak.

Test every propane connection in your RV by spraying the soapy water on it or applying it with a sponge.

If you fill your tank or switch to another tank and you're still unable to light the stove, the regulator may be damaged. It’s going to be hard to find an exact replacement for that model of propane regulator.

My camper is 10 years old and I have already replaced my refrigerator, because field mice got into and destroyed the circuit board, I have to place ant traps in the camper every spring and I have to clear the air/LP balance vent tube on the hot water heater annually because of stink bug infestation.

We had propane for heat and hot water.

Propane sensors can be sensitive.

I have a MEC Marshall MEGR-253 auto changeover Reg that I just installed new.

My other Marshall did not do that.

Here are two things I would try first, I have had issues with my furnace and this is what fixed it two separate times. I use a single 40 pound propane tank on my Norcold fridge, but it seems like my tank is burning lots of fuel could I have the wrong pressure regulator on the line does it need to be low pressure pretty sure the one I have on it is high pressure but possibly not no indications! They are inexpensive enough. Hope this was helpful, good luck with your camper.

I bought a travel trailer and I am getting a gas smell during the day. Can I replace RV propane regulator myself?

There are a few factors that may be causing your LP regulator to freeze when you turn on high propane use appliances like your water heater or furnace.

It’s rare that an RV propane regulator requires adjusting and you either have a leak in your propane system or the regulator needs replacing. This is only for those who have dual propane tanks and an automatic RV propane regulator. It also could be that your fridge is trying to cool too much. Then slowly open the valve. Welcome to The Camping Nerd!

The reason you should open the propane tank valve slowly is because sometimes the emergency shut off valve in the regulator can get stuck on if the tank is opened too quickly. Does it shut off completely with no lights flashing on the front of the fridge?

I can keep the mice out and ants out but is all but impossible to keep the stink bugs out!

My wife and I travel full time in our RV. Normally if left pointed straight down the regulator will pull propane from each tank simultaneously which doesn’t impede the flow of propane so long as both tanks are open. Keep steady gas pressure in your Coleman® Propane Stove, Grill/Stove or Fold N Go™ Stove.

I have had engineers out and they can’t find the problem.

If you hear popping noises when you turn off the flames on your RV stoves burner then your propane regulator may be having issues.

You can get a replacement for an RV propane sensor here (click to view on Amazon).

The first thing you need to do is locate where the leak is. The flame on any of your propane appliances should be a strong blue.

If it continues to happen there could be a failure in the unit and you may need to replace it. I need to fix it right now. Hi and thanks for sharing.

Wait for about 10 minutes then reattach both or one of the propane tanks. Hello, I’m having trouble with my Dometic fridge. The old propane regulator on my travel trailer was automatic but after a while, it stopped switching over automatically and had to be changed over manually.

I didn’t know how the auto charge over worked so I switched to a full tank and then nothing would light. Propane is a fairly clean-burning gas, it doesn’t normally have dark smoke, like wood fires, and a healthy propane flame shouldn’t put off hardly any soot.

Can Propane Regulators Or Propane Lines Freeze? If you notice propane coming from the vent make sure you don’t have an overfilled propane tank. I also think some buttons may have a solid nipple so you'd likely need to resort to glueing in this case.

Hopefully, this will solve any issues with your regulator. After replacing the regulator the popping issue was solved. Remove the exhaust pipe cover on the outside of your camper and try to run the furnace without it. Adding fans like these behind the fridge will help circulate air when it’s hot and help your fridge run more efficiently.

My son and I were camping last weekend. The gas that’s coming out after you turn off your propane tank is what’s left in the lines. A common cause may a safety feature that is inside the regulator. Here’s what to do if it’s necessary: Know what type of propane tank you have. Then I would have the heater click on and light and then when it was satisfied and shut off. I checked the furnace igniter which has a good strong arc so that appears to work correctly.

Our Norcold RV fridge is always giving us trouble as well.

If the regulator detects a high propane flow it will engage the safety valve and shut off this same feature is found on propane tanks.

RV fridges normally have different settings and it might be set too high. The tanks are not completely full.

This is actually totally normal.

I have an old 1985 lance cab over camper.

Sorry I couldn’t be of more help, let me know if you have any questions. Unfortunately, propane fridges can be very temperamental. See Also: Can Propane Regulators Or Propane Lines Freeze?

If you are only using a single-stage propane regulator that could be part of the problem.

Hopefully at least one of these suggestions will help. Canadian Tire makes cooking at the campsite easy! One of the things that could be causing this is the propane tank being opened too fast after being connected to the regulator. If you need to change out your RV propane regulator check out this post for information on how to install the new one and what you will need.

The flames should be blue and almost level with the burner. If none of your propane appliances are working it could be your auto propane regulator but before replacing it I would try and reset it to see if that fixes the problem.

Then the heater would try to relight and now it will not light. Let me know if you have any other questions. If it gets too hot, or not enough air, it’s not going to ignite and run. Fortunately nothing dangerous has happened at all.

Now slowly turn the valve on the propane tank until it is fully open. I hope this was helpful in some way and you find the source of the propane smell in your trailer.

The first thing is most likely moisture build-up inside your propane tank. If you open it slowly it shouldn’t activate.

Thanks a lot!

Make sure the regulator switch is turned to the propane tank that is the most full.

If the age of your regulator is starting to get to the double digits and it’s having issues it’s time to replace it. I wrote a post about it you can find here. The tank type will determine what size fitting your tank needs. They have a life of about 10 years and a regulator can give out simply because it’s too old. Also, if you only have one propane tank open and the selector is aimed straight down it could potentially limit the propane output since one side isn’t putting out any propane.

If it doesn’t fix the problem you may need to replace the propane regulator. Also check the pipe to make sure it’s clear. To reset your propane regulator shut off both the propane tanks and unhook them from the regulator. This will ensure that the propane lines have been drained completely.

The RV propane regulator is going to be near your propane tank or tanks.
