Neil,
I didn't install a second regulator. Jerry had a plan to be able to hook up outside propane appliances and, as I recall, that was part of the reason he put in the second regulator. One regulator seems fine. A potential problem would be freezeup, but I haven't noticed any issues and I checked the regulator after running the generator for a time. The other might be lack of capacity, but there really isn't much demand besides the generator. Usually when I use the generator it's hot outside so freezeup isn't an issue and I'm not running the heater.
A couple of things to watch out for on your installation. First, the propane hose goes near the exhaust pipe so make sure it's routed properly. Second, when the generator is pushed in, in my coach there's no space behind it and the rear wall, so make sure the propane hose doesn't get trapped there. I found that routing it along with the power cables worked well.
