MB Sturgis RV Type 1 Connection
Compared with other Type 1 connectors, this dark green MB Sturgis Type 1 connector provides the highest flow rate possible before going into bypass mode. As a result, this pigtail will help to ensure that your propane setup will be able to power all of your appliances, even if they require high-pressure gas.
Type 1 connectors go into bypass mode if the flow rate surpasses the maximum flow capacity for that connector. When maximum capacity is reached, the flow of gas through the fitting will be completely shut off. The maximum flow capacity for this dark green Type 1 connector is 200 SCFH. When the gas in the system reaches this level, a ball inside of the fitting will push an internal spring down, pressing firmly against the bottom of the fitting to shut off the flow of gas.
This MB Sturgis dark green Type 1 connector not only provides a higher flow rate compared to cylinder connectors of different colors, but it also offers a higher rate when compared with dark green cylinder connectors from other manufacturers. The MB Sturgis dark green Type 1 has been tested to ensure that it hits a maximum of 200 SCFH every time.

Pigtail hose connects your dual LP gas cylinder setup to the regulator on your camper. Internal back-check prevents gas leaks. Braided stainless steel protects the thermoplastic hose from damage.Excellent quality. Did what I expected and looks great.
The pigtail was premium quality an a piece of cake to install an the distribution block was also easy to install . See picture for what I call a great install. Highly recommend. Thanks everyone at etrailer
The propane hoses were a very good upgrade and replacement for the original hoses on my 1996 Airstream which were getting brittle. Also I do not need a wrench to disconnect the tanks for refilling.
One of our favorite spots to camp had an abundance of squirrels and in minutes they chewed a hole in our gas line. This is the only source for the stainless steel braided gas line. We haven't tried tempting any squirrels yet but I'm convinced this will be the answer! Customer service was very responsive.
Perfect fit just like the factory item!
I have always had great service and products from trailer. A mistake happen this time and I received a wrong part. Hey we are all human. But trailer immediately sent the right part and I had it within two days. etrailer has always done a great job but how it is how they correct a problem that makes them shine!
While I have not yet installed this product, I will be soon. I wanted the stainless steel overwrapped hose because I think it will be more durable and better protected than the plain hose.
The first hose that came with my R-Pod was an M.B. Sturgis hose. It was not overwrapped, and the reason I got a different one was that it developed a leak at the junction of the hose and the regulator fitting. Since then, I have had a couple of other propane pigtails. One was okay, but when I switched to a hard cover, it was too short. The one I had that was long enough developed a fault in cold weather where it had an internal valve fail which restricted the propane flow. This was a bad thing because it was freezing weather. When the furnace kicked on, the stove nearly went out. That hose was replaced under warranty, but the replacement had the old style connector which needs a wrench. That is not what I wanted.That is why I purchased this one.
The specifications are better on this also. The other hose is rated for 200,000 btu/hour. This one is rated for 450,000 btu/hour. It is probably why this brand was the one that came with our R-Pod originally.
If this one lasts, it will be a good value. I won't know that until I have had it on and used it.
The pigtail connector on my Aliner Classic, the one with the green plastic fastener that runs from the propane tank to the regulator, was chewed by some vermin and was leaking. There are squirrels and chipmunks aplenty here. It was the original hose and looks to be black neoprene which over the years had become hard, less pliable.
It made sense to replace this solid neoprene with one with a stainless braided outer sleeve. Not only will this stainless braid repel animals from chewing (They hate chewing metal braid), but it is a degree of protection from road hazards being kicked up and slicing the bare hose.
This hose has a Green knob. Be sure of the color of the plastic knob on your old hose as a hose with a black knob will not work, the thread will not fit: You must replace your hose with one with the knob of the same color.
Be sure to use Teflon gas tape on the threads attaching to the regulator, this prevents leakage and is important.
Exactly what I needed. Received quickly, works perfectly and looks good also.
Work great and I hope they last a long time.
I was having trouble with squirrels eating my gas hoses to my camper.
Bought stainless steel lined hoses and they solved the problem. Thank You
Product was promptly shipped and no damage when I recieved it. Hooked it up to the travel trailer and works like a champ. I've had rubber ones before and rocks have kicked up and punctured them. Hopefully this does the trick. Well constructed.
The propane regulator I ordered seems to be made of quality as does the flex hose. Will order again when I need. Thanks ..,....
..Merry Christmas to all.
as described
Service was excellant as usual , but due to cold weather I have not installed
these yet. Trust me my review will be just as good as the begining responce.
Quality propane hose. Built very well.
The propane hoses were exactly what I needed to complete my hook-up.
Customer service . Doesn't get any bet ter.
This is the only 36'' stainless propane pigtails on the market. Hopefully they last longer than 7 yrs. Very quick delivery, and great communication via e-mail. I will post on airforums about this product.
Product works as described. Has not broken down to UV yet, like previous exposed rubber hoses have. No leaks, no problems, only happy camping.
This allowed me to connect to our 100 cup rice cooker with ease
Good things take time .Thank you
