Here is the manual as a pdf. [attachment file=Fairview GR-9984P Propane LP Regulator Manual.pdf] Fairview-GR-9984P-Propane-LP-Regulator-Manual.pdf

Most owners will run into a situation where they need to repair a broken wire or faulty circuit, or want to add a completely new one, for a pantry light, a backup camera or perhaps a charging port. Being able to make electrical connections in a safe and secure way is critical. If you understand the fundamentals, it is easy to select the correct tools and supplies to do the job the right way. This is a fine reference for low voltage automotive wiring ..... It is NOT AT ALL appropriate for 120 volt ac residential type wiring. I selected Reader View on my iPad, which neatens up the formatting and removes ads, then saved it as a pdf. http://www.musclecardiy.com/automotive-wiring/fundamentals-of-automotive-electrical-connections-and-connectors/ This applies to homebuilt aircraft, but it does provide some good insight into what works and what doesn't I hope this proves useful.

There is a very nice Museum of Transportation - https://transportmuseumassociation.org/ - located just west south west of Saint Louis. They've got a bunch of old trains there if you happen to be in that area. Bill

For what its worth - I do the exact opposite of ScubaRX. I leave the valve to one of my propane tanks closed. I rarely, if ever, have the heat on at night, so, I really do not have his problem of having to get up in the middle of the night in the event the single tank I'm pulling from runs out of propane. When I find that this first tank is empty I simply open the valve to the other tank and then get the first tank refilled as soon as practical. This way I don't have to ever think about my usage and I don't run out of propane because I didn't remember to check. Bill

With the lever in the center position it will draw from both tanks and you will run out of propane without any warning. One of the best camping gagets we have found in years is the Mopeka propane monitors that Steve mentioned that show the tank percentage on your phone.

You put the lever towards the tank that you are using from. The indicator shows green. When that tank is empty, the regulator will automatically swap to the opposite tank. The indicator will now show red. The lever does NOT move to point to the other tank. If you manually move the lever (no reason to) to the opposite tank, the indicator will show green. The idea (and the way I do it) is to leave both tanks open. That way, if you run out of propane in the middle of the night, you don’t have to go outside to open the other tank and manually swap the regulator over. Of course, this system requires you to be paying attention and not run completely out of propane. Through the years I’ve gotten a feel for how much is being used. Plus, I have the wireless monitors on the bottom of the tanks that transmit to a readout inside the trailer and to an app on my phone.

RB - Assume that you have both tanks with propane in them. Place the black lever in either direction and the tank that the lever is pointing to is the one that is supplying the propane. Also assuming that you have both tank valves in the open position then when the first tank runs out of propane, the regulator will automatically switch over to the other tank. Bill

I just purchased a new 2019 Ram 1500, 4x4, 5.7 hemi, crew cab 5'7" bed, tow package, and 3.92 gears. I will update my profile as we have ordered a trailer. trainman

Someone just shared this on airforums and I thought I'd pass it along here too. "Victron has just released a new book called "Wiring Unlimited". I hate to use the term "ultimate", but this is the ultimate reference book for anyone wanting to do electrical work on their RV.
