Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

On the Porta Cave the regulator looks to be corroaded in the fitting that would hook to the tank. Some one has taken out the fitting some time ago.

Question: will a gas grill regulator work for the Magic Chef Stovetop? I have an old grill that still works but has been replaced and can use the regulator and hose.

I would like to make sure the stovetop works before I take the galley and sides apsrt for repairs.



Thanks for the help.

Generally a "pancake" style regulator (fixed pressure) for gas BBQ grill is same as regulator found in RV applications .... Usually these regulators supply propane at about 1/4 to 1/3 psi ( .7 to .10 inches water)....

Most RV suppliers will have selections of regulator and fitting to adapt to any tank or hose appliance configurations...

boy your teardrop looks alot like the half hatch Scad-A-Bout, what brand teardrop is yours?

You also have the exact stove as mine, I cleans it up and reused it but installed a new regulator, for the cost it is well worth it.

Not sure what it is or what year . Someone said Ben-Roy? But looks like yours too. Is there any pics anywhere of the half door? I like your unit as well.

The usual value I've seen for the low-pressure side of RV propane supplies is 11 inches of water column. 7 to 10 inches would be close, and would roughly correspond to 1/4 to 1/3 PSI, but I assume that ".7 to .10" is just a typo.

So yes, low-pressure gas grills (but not typical camp stoves) tend to expect the same pressure as RV appliances, including stoves used in trailers. I would just buy a new one, since as Dale suggested they are readily available, but I think the leftover one should be fine for testing. I would also expect the regulator to have its output pressure shown on the case.
