Yes, onboard propane tanks in RVs use propane regulators, and they are normally 2 stage ones.<\/p>\n
If you are looking to replace the RV propane regulator on your motorhome’s permanent (also known as ASME) tank, you will need to get a special kind of regulator for it.<\/p>\n

They are usually 20 to 100 lbs (5-24 gallons).<\/p>\n To get the right horizontal propane tank regulator it’s really important that you know the size of the tank. Because the larger capacity ASME tank requires a larger capacity 2 stage propane regulator.<\/p>\n Another thing to look at is the BTU output. Many of the larger Class A motorhomes that have a propane fueled onboard generator require a much higher BTU output.<\/p>\n Getting the right size is going to be safer and keep your appliances running properly.<\/p>\n Below are some of the best 2 stage RV propane regulators for the different sizes of onboard RV propane tanks.<\/p>\n Any of these should work for most of the horizontal propane tanks found on RVs.
