we have been waiting now since beginning of July for our parts to come into dealer. we were originally told it would arrive on sept 17 but today they are telling us its still on backorder with no new time frame available. they said everyone has them on back order including amazon. can we use a different regulator or do we have to use a winntec? also some of the posts on this site list a temp substitue of using a flame king (if we can find one) until our parts come in. will this work?

Took my Imagine 2970 to a GD dealer to have a 50 regulator changed. Result was they left battery switch on and now have dead battery, and when plugging into shore power the 26 month old propane detector is beeping and the lights are signaling end of life. It would have been a lot cheaper to just do the regulator my self.

Hi All, Just a followup to a question i asked recently. I contacted Grand Design to ask which regulators we can and cant use and if we can take this repair to anyone else to do the recall if we can find a regulator. the answer i got back is that we can use any regulator except, winntec, mr heater and enerco. And we can take it to any dealership (doesnt have to be grand design) or we can take it to a mobile tech. so we found a Camco regulator and asked our dealer to install it. They said according to Grand Design it has to be one that Grand Design issued and we can not use Camco regulator. We tried to call Grand design to see why the email we got from them vs what dealer is saying is different. Cant get through on any phones (ugh!!!) has anyone been told this? My husband is affraid we will be stuck with this Camco regulator if grand design doesnt accept it.2017 Ford F-250, 2017 Imagine 2950

Just this last weekend, we were relaxing outside our Imagine and heard some popping noises coming from the other side of the unit. It was coming from the backside of the refer. It sounded like there was air in the propane line. (I had just changed out an empty tank). It stopped popping and then sounded like a jet engine. Aware of the recall, I rushed outside and shut off the propane. I came back inside and found that we lost all power to the brow panel. We had to cut our trip short with no other way to keep our food cool. As a former RV tech, I started checking out electrical feeds and fuses. Looks like the flame had tripped the thermal fuse in the flue and saved our bacon!Last edited by howson; 10-03-2021, 03:21 PM.Chad & Becky

The Flame King in the Imagine works fine with no issues.

We just had the problem with the winn-tec regulator. We were wondering why we were running out of propane so quickly and had to lower the propane tank output but also the flames would be extremely high. We received the recall notice. Just talked with my wife and decided we are going to get the one from the dealer to replace it and purchase a flame king auto changeover as a back up.
