Rerplacing a Truma Monocontrol CS

[jcfx11]

Hi,

Our Truma gas reg failed while on holiday, the van is only two years old, I rigged up an old standard propane regulator to keep us going while we were away. I've bought a new reg and it's not quite the same ... the old one was fixed to the roof of the gas cabinet, the new one looks as though it needs to fix to the vertical wall of the gas cabinet due to the pressure reducing portion being 90 degrees out from the old one.

It has the crash sensor which needs to be vertical hence I think the different mounting necessary. And the rupture proof hose I have doesn't fit the new reg as the fitting is different. Photos of all parts below. All part numbers agree so I've got the correct bits (?)

So, is there any way to turn the reg body on the new reg to 90 degrees in order I can roof mount it, or is it all too much trouble and I should stick with my propane reg on the bottle. I don't use gas on the move so I don't need all of the Truma features

Thanks

Truma Gas Filter

Yours or mine?.. If i did that on ours the pipe would exit lower, also meant messing about with the copper. Was like that when we got it, I've just added stainless piggy and gasit bottle If talking about yours is that an impact shutoff valve at the bottom? Can't mount that horizontal if it is.

This thread has a number of installations including mine which has a different orientation.
Before you screw up another regulator it may be prudent to add a filtration system. That thread has lots of good info.
I have just added the newer truma filter. It is a cs sstem but a different orientation to others.

Hi
You have actually bought a direct to tank regulator !
The new one you have is really for mounting directly onto an underslung tank.
You may well struggle to find a direct replacement for your Truma regulator as they are no longer supplied to Truma from GOK .
The new Truma regulator is apparently not particularly good !
In short yes your 37mbar regulator will work but it’s not manufactured to the requirements for leisure vehicles as it’s probably over 1.5kg per hour also single stage and won’t incorporate any over pressure shut off device
Most likely man to have a replacement regulator in stock is Chris Wise @ Autogas 2000.
I would personally probably fit a Cavagna 424 30 mbar regulator as they are actually pretty simple (not travel safe ) and therefore bulletproof
Message me if you would like any more information.

Yep, I'd come to that conclusion after reading the advert again ... back to the start then.
