I have a lp leak and need to replace regulater system , everwhere  I went today ( camping world and 2 lp dealers )I got this dumb look and was told what I had was homemade. There are 2 regulaters , starting at the tank the 1st one is a high pressure reg. , there is a brass fitting that attaches it to the low pressure reg. The brass fitting has a hose coming out of it to the outside stove hook up. The hose coming out of the low pressure reg. goes to the line that supply gas to the refrigerater anf water heater. Can somebody please help find what I need. Thanks!!

While it may not be "home made" it isn't certified for RV use if indeed there are two single stage regulators.
Your "normal" Fleetwood/Coleman high pressure outside stove propane setup is a line off the cylinder with a tee and a single stage high pressure regulator feeding the outside stove and a DUAL stage low pressure regulator feed the rest of the camper.
Two seperate single stage regulators were made "not certified" about 10 years ago and now any low pressure regulater to be certified for RV must have two stages in one regulator and no certified two stage regulator has a tap on the high pressure first stage. Thus needing the two regulators for high and low pressure.
Only Fleetwood/Coleman use this arrangement and only on their high end PU's for several years, so the setup is "rare" and why the RV dealers though it was home made.

Here's the set up mike references. maybe here
While the dual regulator is standard RV ware, the single high pressure regulator is set to whatever pressure the outside stove needs. I'm betting it is custom to Fleetwood or requires that the high pressure regulator be set to the pressure needed for your outdoor stove.

Mike is correct, only Fleetwood/Coleman uses this arangement, so you need to try your local Fleetwood dealer.

Where is your leak?  You do not need to replace both regulators, jut the one that is leaking.  I just replaced my high pressure regulator a few weeks ago.  You don't need to replace both regulators unless they are both leaking.  If your not sure where the leak is, pour some soapy water over your regulator (whit the gas on) and see where the propane bubbles out.  Any RV dealer should be able to get you a high pressure regulator, if that is the one you need.  They have a red cap.:)
