LP Gas Regulator replacement and troubleshooting for RVs

I saved $200 doing this myself. We troubleshoot and replace the LP regulator and automatic changeover valve regulator in our 5th wheel travel trailer RV. We were having trouble with the refrigerator not running on gas, and the propane stove burners not working correctly. In this video, I explain symptoms and troubleshooting the system. I review how the LP system works to power our refrigerator, range, oven, furnace, and hot water heater when we're dry camping, without electricity. The 12V battery ignites the flame for the refrigerator, water heater and furnace. I also show two good ways to always know the level of your propane in the tanks:

Replacement process:
Step 1: purchase the proper regulator or changeover valve with regulator
Step 2: Shut off both LP gas tanks and remove them.
Step 3: Disconnect the LP gas lines from the regulator (one on each side for a regulator. One on each side and an exit line on the bottom for the automatic changeover valve/regulator units). This was a 1/2 inch wrench in our case to remove these connections.
Step 4: Use gas line tape (similar to teflon tape used for other lines, but unique for LP gas use) and then install the connections on the new valve/regulator.
Step 5: Reinstall and connect the LP tanks.
Step 6: Check for leaks at all connection points, using soapy water and a spray bottle. Tighten as necessary.
Step 7: Test using the stovetop to make sure the gas ignites and works properly. (follow all safety procedures and venting requirements)
