Stuart, if you want to keep it stock, I have a NOS valve for sale -- you
can see it on my website.  Otherwise, go to your friendly LP place and get
(or have them install) a 1 3/4" Acme fill valve, just like every other RV
on the road, and a manual bleed valve, ditto.  Should be under $50 for both.

While you're messing about, if you still have the square model 260
regulator, it's very likely getting ready to start leaking -- they don't
make it any more; the replacement is the Marshall Brass model 290 (about
$25) which unfortunately is a couple inches longer; but there's room to
bend the tubing going into the van to accommodate the new regulator.
