My Dometic A/C and propane fridge needs a regulator of "11 inches of water column". With some research I found that is pretty much the standard regulator used on propane grills.
My question is: The regulator that came standard in the coach to run the stove (which I never use), and the furnace (which has been removed) suitable for the fridge as well, or do I need to install a second one, off a tee before the existing regulator, or simply tee past it.
Any other thoughts welcome as well. Thanks.

My '74 with a propane fridge only has the one regulator at the tank.

That regulator should work just fine.

Use only one regulator--they are industry standard and run around 10 to 12 " column.
