I have a leak in the right angled connector , it is two parts, the leak being at the join between the two parts. I would like to replace this with a one piece. I have taken it apart (Allen key inside) and resealed it to no avail. Any suggestions??

Missing rubber/fibre washer in the joint? (They sometimes fall out unnoticed).
Damage to or debris in the mating surfaces?
 
Looking at the elbow, it doesn't look like the correct fitting. These things are not expensive and can be dangerous, without being there I cannot tell for sure but I advise you to either replace the regulator and fittings or have it checked by an expert.
 
never mess about dismantling a regulator, they are not expensive, just replace

First check the fibre washers, or replace the fitting but it will still need fibre washes otherwise it will leak. 🤔
Always check your joints for leaks afterwards. 🙂 Bob.

 
The elbow isn’t standard in the reg. All the ones I’ve seen are straight, so then will need converting to an elbow, unless you can get the hose on to a straight outlet.
 
This elbow


on this regulator, depending on pipe size


this will be able to give you the correct seal between the two parts.

Motorhome was new, I can't find a replacement regulator with a right angled input, ie 1 that sticks out from the wall.

The right angle is a separate part!you could always fit a regulator that doesn't need a right angle fitting.

Not surprised it’s leaking, looks like Silicone Bob and his PTFE Bandits did that installation ⚠️
Clesse regulator isn’t available anymore as far as I know, personally I would use a Cavagna straight 30mbar regulator, they are actually pretty much bomb proof , we sell thousands a year .
