A little pressure creep up is normal (we're talking 1 -3 lbs.), but what you're talking about is unacceptable. I think mine is a Valtera and cost about double what I've seen your brand listed at so maybe it's a case of you get what you pay for or maybe you just got a defective one.

The regulator we had prior to this was a Valtera ($80) and it was faulty. We returned it to the rv shop for a replacement and in a month the gauge was full of water and leaking. We moved to a new campground and This rvaqua ($53) was the next one we had to choose from in a pinch. I agree that you get what you pay for, but in this case it seems we've just had bad luck getting an adjustable regulator that isn't faulty.
