Gas

Please can someone advise on my motorhome I have been told that the bulkhead gas regulator needs to be changed every 10 years is this correct

Not heard of that banded about before. If it’s working fine I would leave it alone.
If it ain’t broke why fix it
Many don’t last 10 years due to clogging of goo from the gas.

Never heard that, is it someone who sells regulators who told you.

The pigtails are recommended to be changed every 6 year (think thats right). You will find they are stamped with a date.

I would ask the hab check person, why it requires changing And to show you who states this requirement.
It may be a recommendation by some supplier but that is likely to be it.
