The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 will allow you to use the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/ Back Check - Type 1 x 1/4" MPT - 30" # 100473-30-MBS to connect your second propane tank to the one mounted on your RV.

If you RV tank is not a standard Type 1, then let me know and we can look for other options.

There is not a changeover regulator that is horizontal, so a photo of your current system may help for me to see what our options are.

Thanks for the picture. I see you have an ASME tank not another 5 gallon tank like a travel trailer would have. It sounds like you simply want to connect your grill to your motorhome. For your application, the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting w/ Hose for POL Valve - 2 Model 250 Quick Disconnect Ports # 103538-MBS will work and use a hose like # 103608 for your grill. We don't have any hoses that fit a 11/16 inner as you stated, as that is not a common size. Most grills use the 1-20 fitting. Another option I recommend the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Flow T-Fitting w/ Hose for POL Valve - Disposable Cylinder Port # 103608.

The MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Hose - 3/8" Male NPT x 1/2" Female Flare Swivel uses a 3/8" fitting on the regulator side and 1/2" fitting on the manifold side. These are nominal fitting sizes so they don't actually measure…

Answer 2

What you need is a T-Fitting and auxiliary hose like what comes in the Kit #103538-MBS, but your propane setup is a bit different than a normal RV so you'll need to get creative in how you're able to connect the T-Fitting. One end is a male…

For the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting w/ Hose for POL Valve - 2 Model 250 Quick Disconnect Ports #103538-MBS you will put this between the tank and the motorhome's in line regulator. Then you will need a single stage regulator like #CAM59013…

Answer 4

It looks like you want a 10' hose that connects to a 20 pound tank (with a type-1 connector) on one end, and a heater with a POL female connector (with regulator) on the other end. The first problem I see is the use of two low-pressure…

Answer 5

I do have an option for you but I am not very familiar with your setup and it is a bit uncommon. If you wish to attach both hoses to the same regulator assuming they are both low pressure then you will indeed need some sort of y-fitting which we do…

Answer 6

Yes, you can use the MB Sturgis 100473 hose with a replacement single-stage regulator, which is what it looks like you need based on your photo. For the regulator you will need the Camco Single Stage Propane Regulator #CAM59013. Then for the 100473…

Hey, Eileen! Great pick, Eileen! If you are going to be getting the Blu Technology AR3 Essential Portable RV Water Filter System w/ Connections - 3 Stage - 0.2 Micron part #GB39FR, the correct Filters would be part #GB87FR.

Answer 9

Yes, the #100019-24 pigtail can be used to connect your dual-cylinder 100 lb propane setup to the regulator on your RV. Since this hose does not have a back-check to contain a gas leak, you will need the #204120-MBS fitting that includes a…

I attached a picture that shows what the typical dual tank setup looks like with the accessories needed labeled. First thing you need is pig tails to go from the tanks to the regulator like the part #100473-12. Then for a dual tank regulator with…
