Knob fell off Change-over valve
I have a Grey Wolf 26DBH and the knob/indicator fell off the propane change-over valve. I have no idea where it went. Is there any way to find just the missing part? I really hate to spend $50 to replace the whole thing when it is just the knob.
Cavagna 924N

Just to be clear, I assume you are referring to the "propane" automatic changeover valve?
If so, there are different manufacturers, and models. We would need some more details in order to help.
Does it resemble any in this FAQ:

Go to a hardware store and see what you can find. NOT HD or Lowes. Think outside the box. I can be round like a water faucet. Just paint a white line on it.

Sometimes it really is better to replace than to try and fix something...
You are dealing with something that can explode!
Do yourself a favor and either go buy a new one (perhaps a better one), or maybe it might still be covered under your warranty.

This is just a cover. It doesn't hold any part of the regulator together. Cheap piece of plastic. The mechanical parts of the regulator are fine.

A quick google search didn't turn up anything of assistance. Maybe someone else will have more success. Sorry

I sent an email to the manufacturer's website. We'll see how that goes. I was just hoping someone else may have had the same issue and found a solution. If not, I'll be buying a new one.

As shown in the FAQ link, I provided. ..there are other manufacturers of these. You may can find a better deal on a different kind if you have to replace the whole assembly.

Think about upgrading to a better one if you do have to buy one...
If this happened to your first one...chances are it will happen to the next one, too!
I just had to replace mine a couple of months ago and am I glad I did!
Got mine from a specialized propane dealer...cost me $65 bucks installed at my RV site!
This is my new one:

X2^^ this is not the time to economize. You are dealing with a potentially deadly issue. Splurge for the $50.00
Actually less than 30 at ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Automatic-A...lXG85~&vxp=mtr
I have had one like this for years, NO issues at all

I suppose that Ebay one might be made by Marshall...

Your reasoning here is like saying you need to buy a new car because the hub cap fell off.

My guess is that the one you have is probably made in China.
My new Marshall is made in the US of A.
