Hi all,
I am getting ready to pick up a pop up camper from far away this weekend. I really like the camper and have been working with the owner to ensure everything is checked as I am making the long trip. I have been talking to him for about a week now and I like him as well I trust him. I do not know how to explain, but it is something you get a feel for when you talk to someone for a number of days and couple of times a day!
He checked everything for me and let me know all the details that he sees in the camper and what I need to do or not. Every little or major things he found. And sent me pictures along the way.
During his last check of the propane system, he found out that the propane is not flowing. His propane tank was empty and he did not use it for a while. He talked to an RV mechanic that he knows, who told him that it is the regulator that need to be changed and this happens if propane tank is empty and sits for a long time (like 10-12 months) and the cost of the regulator is not huge (around $50).
So, I am asking your advice and from experience:
1. Is it easy to replace the regulator?
Most importantly,
2. What is the worst that can happen if changing the regulator doesn't resolve the issue?
Guys/galls, please any thoughts or advice would ease my mind.
Many thanks!
