as far as I know all of the Vanagon regulators are adjustable...

but I don't think I've ever heard of anyone
> actually doing this.

Yes, most people never think of it... but regulators age and can get out of
adjustment... also, going to high altitude can cause the fridge to not want
to stay lit... Dometic has recognized this and has recommended reducing the
propane pressure... and in this case I am installing a new tank and
regulator.. it needs to be set at 11 w.c. inches.... RV service recommends
checking your regulator pressure peridoically to keep your appliances
operating correctly... and it is a good way to diagnose a failing or erratic
regulator... those are the reasons I can think of...
