Propane Regulators

Hello All, I've been fighting and issue on my 2017 3160RL since I bought it in 2020. My propane tank on the ODS (Vehicle Driver's Side) will work for a day or two and then cut off. Over last couple years I've replaced the Red Regulator, Main Regulator and the tank itself. This has not solved the issue.

I've been thinking of why I would have a regulator on both tanks since the ODS feeds into the Main Regulator. I thought maybe they are fighting against each other and that's causing the problem? I was thinking of removing the red regulator and trying it, does anyone have knowledge that this would cause problems?

I have looked through many passed threads and haven't found one with this exact issue. Someone a few years ago said they had removed the Red regulator and just slowly cracks open the tank so that the shutoff inside the tank doesn't close and that they have had no issues since doing that, and it had been a couple of years.

Any expertise would be appreciated.
