Dual propane regulator

Does anyone know where I can get a dual propane regulator of my ice castle? I have 2 30 lb tanks and it came with only one hose for the tanks. I think it would be a real pain changing that in the middle of the night on a real cold night .

Any idea on the cost with the quick connect fasteners?

Thanks !

The online auction site usually has a few for a good price.

For what it's worth, I never set mine to automatically switch over. It's nice to know if/when the first tank runs out so you can accurately gauge how much time you have left, or if you need to make a propane run.

How do you set it to NOT switch over?? My ice castle also came with the single, bought a double at the local camper place, and it just has a lever pointed to one tank or the other, but it WILL automatically switch over, I have to watch the red/green gauge to know whether I'm empty on that tank.

I do the same thing. Easy to find the regulators, online or just do a search. Its worth the time as they do vary in price.

If I did not close the valve on the other tank, I would empty the both of them as I would forget about them. Easy to open the valve is the heat quits.

So if you don't plan on using the auto switch over feature, save some money and just get a dual regulator with manual switch.

I found the best price at Miltona Blacksmith. Even though I built my own frame Don sold me many of the components at a price that was better than I could find elsewhere, and I did spend a lot of time on the web searching for best prices.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
