Gas Regulator Auto Changeover Moving by Itself

[rvhippo]

I have a new Jayco trailer. I have two 20lbs. propane tanks hooked up to a regulator with an auto changeover. The strange thing is that the tank selector lever will move by itself.

For example, I set the lever to draw from the right tank. As I use propane the lever moves by itself towards the six o'clock position. I thought that the lever would remain stationary. Is this normal operation? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Defective...replace it

It shouldn't move. I used that lever to know which tanks is empty, and to remove to be filled. Even though the switch over is automatic.

What brand? Yes one more warranty item.

It slowly moves by itself. It's not road vibration - it will move by itself when the trailer is stationary.

I should still get full gas flow no matter where the selector lever is pointing? I don't want to lean out any appliances and burn them out. I'm hoping it can wait until I can bring the trailer in to have bigger issues like the misaligned slide fixed all at once.

I think this trailer is cursed or I got a lemon. So far I've had to had the axles re-welded, brake failure, roof leak, slide alignment and small minor issues. I hope it's just "teething" problems and things will get better once the initial problems are solved.

I've never heard of that happening. Does it keep moving, or does it stop at 6 o'clock? Sure nobody is messing with you? 🙂

The lever should not move. Doug
