When the duel fixed regulators were first introduced it was one of the "learning curve" of most LV manufacturers until they realised the regulator needed to be mounted above the cylinder valve to stop the residue from liquid petroleum gas running into the regulators and blocking them

Even when it is mounted higher than the top of the bottle they can still gum up. Spent a very cold night in early spring. when ours decided to fail with only a trickle of gas coming through. Replaced it with a like for like Truma regulator. That one failed after approx a weeks light use when gas started hissing out of one of the diaphram vent orifice at a rapid rate. Replaced that regulator with a different make. In nearly 40 years of camping and caravanning I never had a bottle top regulator fail.
