The white plastic piece you're referring to is a CAMCO protective cover for the regulator. Here's a link for it:

Under that plastic cover is a black plastic screw-on cap that may have an adjustment screw for the low pressure regulator (most do not have the adjustment screw) which you can turn to increase or decrease gas pressure . This requires a manometer to adjust.

On the metal regulator body, the tube shaped protrusion pointing down is only the vent to allow the regulator to vent off excess gas pressure. The purpose of the plastic shield is to help keep it open and free of ice/snow buildup. Most RV's don't have the shield and that's why you are having problems with people recognizing it for what it is.

My advice to you would be: There are no user service items under the shield, leave it alone and don't tamper. Marshall two stage automatic changeover regulators are, for the most part, remove and replace items with no service required.

There is no third hose connection capability on the regulator.
