What's wrong?
The Winntec model 6020 two-stage propane regulator on affected 2019-2021 Highland Ridge Fw Open Range, Silverstar, and Mesa Ridge trailers controls propane pressure before it reaches the RV appliances. It sits between the onboard propane cylinders and appliances such as the furnace, stove, refrigerator, or water heater. Its job is to keep propane flow steady enough for those appliances to burn fuel correctly.
The failure starts inside the second stage of the regulator. The valve seat can move out of position because its mechanical lock is not holding it securely. Propane hoses connected to the regulator also release plasticizer, a liquid that collects inside the regulator body. That liquid changes the valve seal and makes it easier for the seal to degrade or move, which lets propane pressure rise instead of staying controlled.
Owners can notice irregular appliance performance, such as appliances that run unevenly or do not behave normally. A propane smell at the regulator is another warning sign, because it indicates the regulator is venting from high pressure.

Repair is free at any franchised Highland Ridge Fw dealer.
