Propane Regulator leaking on Street Side
Hi, My Cougar 5th Wheel (6 years old) has a stand alone 18psi (GR-618) red regulator on the street side propane bottle, which enters a pipe that crosses the front to the curb side. On the curb side i...

To the person who mentioned the not understanding the purpose of the single stage regulator
There are basically 2.1 types of regulator systems I have seen (this is the .1)
Single stage take gas from a variable pressure of around 100 PSI (can be 50 or 200) to a pressure of roughly 0.5 PSI in one jump, That's a lot to expect of a regulator. (O.5 PSI is about the pressure needed to hold 11" of water up, the exact outlet pressure is = to 11" of water least anyone want to argue with my 1/2 PSI round off).
Thus they came up with the 2 stage, Take it down to about 20-30 in one step, and 1/2 in the second.
usually the sequence is Tank-line-switchover valve-Stage 1-Stage 2-lines to appliances.
In this case it's Tank--Stage 1--Valve--Stage 2
NOTE that there are two tanks and two lines to the valve (And in this system two stage 1's)
