Overview
Camco is primarily known for RV accessories and propane fittings, and the 51096 fits that profile. At $79.83, this is the most expensive part in this group, and at 3.86 lb with a listed dimension of 1 x 1 x 1 inch (likely a placeholder value rather than actual dimensions), the spec data is sparse. The blend material designation suggests a composite or multi-material construction used in regulators, manifolds, or propane fitting assemblies.
The 4.2-star average is lower than several other parts in this group, which could reflect the higher price relative to buyer expectations, or fitment specificity that results in a few buyers ordering the wrong component. 392 reviews is a reasonable sample for a specialized propane accessory, and the rating is still solidly positive.
Camco products are widely available at RV supply stores and camping retailers, which means warranty support and replacement availability are generally straightforward if a part needs to be returned or exchanged.

Performance notes
Fuel type is propane. Material is listed as blend, indicating a composite or multi-material construction common in propane regulators, manifolds, or valve bodies. Weight is 3.86 lb. Listed dimensions of 1 x 1 x 1 inch appear to be a placeholder and should not be used for fitment verification. Buyers should consult Camco's product documentation for actual dimensions and compatibility.
What buyers say
392 reviews at 4.2 stars indicates a largely satisfied buyer base with a few more critical voices than the top-rated parts in this category. The lower rating relative to competitors may reflect price sensitivity at the $79.83 level or some fitment specificity that catches occasional buyers off-guard. Overall the part delivers on its core function for the majority of buyers.

Frequently asked questions
What is Camco known for in the propane accessories market?
Camco is a well-established brand in the RV and outdoor propane accessories market, producing regulators, hoses, fittings, and safety accessories for motorhomes, travel trailers, and portable outdoor cooking setups. Their products are stocked at most RV supply stores, camping retailers, and major home improvement chains, which makes finding support or parts straightforward.
Why is this part priced higher than similar propane accessories?
Camco products sit in the upper-mid range for propane accessories partly due to brand recognition and distribution reach. The $79.83 price for this part reflects a more complex component, likely a regulator assembly or multi-function fitting rather than a simple hose. Before purchasing, confirm the part number against your specific propane system or appliance to make sure you are buying the right component for your application.
