92Toy_IT320RB Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) 1992 Toyota Winnebago Itasca Spirit 320RB The propane service valve, or shut-off valve [Manchester V20373/V21202 LP Service Valve] is leaking when in the fully open position, so I will be replacing it. . I have found the part on both eBay and Amazon. Since I will be disassembling to replace the valve, I think it would be a good idea to also replace the regulator and compartment at the same time: -- Per the Winnebago Parts Catalog, if coach was assembled "FROM 00-00-00 THRU 03-24-92" the parts are as follows: Number 11 - Winnebago p/n 076301-01-000 = Regulator-Two Stage M*Brass 273-00 Number 13 - Winnebago p/n 081938-01-000 = Compartment-LP Regulator -- BUT if coach was assembled "FROM 03-25-92 THRU 99-99-99" the parts are different as follows: Number 12 - Winnebago p/n 106150-01-000 = Regulator-Two Stage M*Brass 293-00 Number 13 - Winnebago p/n 105658-01-000 = Compartment-LP Regulator I'm not finding any of these parts online, so my question is: Can someone with experience in this area recommend an easily obtainable and compatible regulator (a functional equivalent) that will install easily in the same location, and work just like the existing one? Here is a link to the 92 Spirit parts catalog [LP System is described on page C-03, which is page 23 of the pdf file]: http://www.winnebagoind.com/service/wincd/1992/92it320rb.pdf Edited April 25, 2018 by 92Toy_IT320RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I suppose if you're really intent on getting direct replacements you could phone Winnebago (or a Dealer) and ask for the part number(s) of what they currently install. Or look at Pdfs from their website for more recent MHs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Fixing things isn't just about finding part numbers. Those parts you can't find are just the 2 stage regulator, a vertical one, and the cover that goes over it. That one Winnebago uses looks to have an elbow attached before the regulator. You do know there is still propane in your system no matter how much you try to let it out, right. Have you figured out how to remove the tank yet from your camper. Those Winnebago's have them in a difficult spot. You must remove it because if you manage to find all the parts and fix it, you still have to take the tank in to have it flushed before it can be refilled. I'm not propane paranoid but that is not a job I would attempt. Think only Totem has done it here and it wasn't an easy task Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92Toy_IT320RB Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) @Derek Thanks for the link. What are the differences between the slightly different model numbers? . Are the differences functionally significant? . Will they all work satisfactorily in my application?

Derek up North Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I honestly don't know the difference, but I think you can assume whatever's being sold currently will be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Toy_IT320RB Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Partly answering my own question with https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marshall-LP-Regulator-2-Stage-Model-290-01-605H-BOTTOM-VENT-/272973526353?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10 excerpt from eBay description: "No Longer Available / Use Camco 59313 shown under Related Products. / Model 290-00. The regulator, unlike the old two piece designs, combines both regulators in a single compact unit. It performs the same pressure reducing function of a single stage low pressure regulator, except that it does so in two stages. The first stage reduces cylinder pressure to app. 10 lbs. and sends it to the second stage where it is reduced to 11" water column. Because the pressure is reduced in two stages, and because the second stage receives a consistent inlet pressure, the regulator does not have to work as hard. The result is a safer, more efficient system. Zinc die- cast. Molded rubber diaphragm. Second stage relief mechanism per U.L. 144. Mounting holes 3-1/2" on center. 160,000 BTU capacity. Inlet: 1/4" FPT. Outlet: 3/8" FPT. Dimensions: 5-3/4" L X 3-1/8" W X 2-5/8" H." Edited April 25, 2018 by 92Toy_IT320RB clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Be careful with Camco regulators. I had a total of 4 bad regulators from them about a year ago. Try “Propane Warehouse”. I’ve had good luck with their product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try “Propane Warehouse”. I’ve had good luck with their product. Ditto to that. The Camco I got leaked immediately. Got lucky and the place I bought it from dug an old stock Marshall one out of the warehouse. Excuse me but Derek gave you a link to the Winnebago regulator with the bend. Why on earth wouldn't you just get the right one. There are still lots of old stock Marshall regulator around Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 The regulator with the bend is the right one. It matches the diagram in the Winnebago manual and the ad clearly states that it's a Winnebago part Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
