• Size of Propane Hose to Go From Tank to Regulator on RV
  Most regulators like the part # CAM59005 have an inlet of 1/4 inch SAE and an outlet of 3/8 NPT. It would be out of the ordinary if your tank to regulator wasn't 1/4 inch SAE inverted flare. Part # CAM59053 has this style of fittings on both sides. Part # 100040-144-MBS has 3/8 inch on the other hand. Heres how you tell difference between 3/8 NPT and 1/4 NPT. The difference is the outside diameter. 1/4 inch is .540 outside diameter on the threads and 3/8 inch is .675 inch.

• Propane Hose with 1/4" Male Fitting Does Not Fit Regulator with 1/4" Female Fitting
  From the picture that you attached it looks like the regulator has a 1/4" SAE inverted flare, like the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 does.

• Will Camco Low-Pressure Regulator Fit a 1999 Jayco Eagle Pop-Up
  The Camco Low-Pressure LP regulator # CAM57703 is specifically designed to work with Olympian gas heaters.
