My Bailey unicorn Valencia S1 regulator is over 10 years old, I am going to change it myself with automatic changeover regulator https://ebay.us/m/M4loxR. Has anyone use it? Does it work properly?

Never done that but Cavagna are a well respected brand, and I’ve used their kit on the van and at home.

Sounds good
It would enable one to empty both gas bottles without noticing until of course it was too late🤔

Yes, auto changeover regulators do require regular checking of the colour displays and action when it changes - got the T-shirt!

I still reckon its better to have a manual changeover. That way you know when the first cylinder has run out, so you can schedule a replacement into the few following days. Otherwise you just know what will happen.
It's not as if a manual changeover is a difficult time consuming task is it?

Which tends to rather negate the whole ethos of an "automatic" changeover doesnt it ?

Which is why I would never fit one, those I have had came with the boats.
However it is easier to just turn a valve on when the gas has run out and you need to make your morning cuppa than to mess around with a spanner changing bottles.
Manual for me too.
No surprises when they both run out.
You know for sure when one bottle has emptied, so you can then reorder straight away.
