What's wrong?
The Winntec model 6020 two-stage propane regulator on affected 2017-2022 Jayco Fifth Wheel recreational vehicles controls propane pressure before fuel reaches the appliances. Propane leaves the onboard cylinders through short supply hoses, then the regulator lowers and steadies the pressure so appliances receive the correct flow.
The defect is inside the regulator's second stage valve seat, the seal that helps control final propane pressure. Its mechanical lock is inadequate, so the seal can migrate out of position and stop regulating flow correctly. The supply hoses also release a plasticizer, a liquid that collects inside the regulator and changes the seal material, making it easier for the seal to degrade and move.
Owners can notice irregular performance from propane appliances before the regulator fails. A propane smell at the regulator is also a warning sign, because it indicates the regulator is venting due to high pressure.
