Thanks to all who responded to my request for help replacing the propane
regulator. I went to a RV shop yesterday at lunch, they were clueless and
spent their time trying to sell me some huge, behemoth hotel room on
wheels. I left and went to a propane and propane accessory distributor down
the road a few miles. One of the guys in the shop there grabbed a generic
regulator and couple of fittings and some pipe caulk and he and I crawled
around the van and replaced the thing. The old cap even fits over the
rearward facing vent, with a little cajoling. The job was much less trouble
and danger than I imagined and for $14.95US I had a new regulator,
installed, with a full tank of gas. I think we will go to the outer banks
this weekend and do some surf fishing, if my luck continues we might be
frying fish fillets in the van saturday night. Thanks again for all the
help folks!
