Looks like it had some kind of mechanical pressure regulation in there.
Question, did you ever see the dial gauge move into the yellow or red?
Yes, the gauge worked normal when it was new. Then it stopped working so I didn't trust the regulator so I just tossed it aside and bought a new one. Could be this this was still working ok ( pretty sure, it ain't no more ! :) ).
I went ahead and bought a more expensive one ( different brand ) and it seemed to work ok for about six months, then it's dial too malfunctioned. Took it back to camping world and they gave me a new one just like it, and so far it seems fine. Seems like at least on the ones I have had, the dial gauge is perhaps the cheapskate part of the device.
And yes you are right, this one had a spring and plunger assembly. What it lacked was any sort of external adjustment.
The new, more expensive one I bought has an adjustment screw on it.
Edit: ..and yes, Westend, I'll keep the idea of the refrigerator in mind ! :B So far, my fridge is working a-ok though !
