Question:
I have an outdoor burner that came with a pop-up camper I bought many years ago that I am modifying to use with my 40 Toyhauler. I want to be able to tie into my 2 tanks of propane. The burner has a 1/4 male connection. I want to install a T on the downstream side of my Toyhauler regulator and use quick connections to run about a 12 hose from the Toyhauler tanks to burner now on stand I built. Does etrailer sell all the parts I need to complete this project? If so, can you tell/show me what they are. Thanks, Jason

Yes, we can help you add this outdoor cook top to your Toy haulers propane system.
Since you want to tap in to the propane down stream of the main regulator I assume that your cook top does NOT have it's own regulator. (If it did we would do this a different way.)
Looking at the propane regulator on your trailer you will see coming off both sides at the top the pigtail connections that run to each of your two propane tanks. Coming off the bottom of the regulator is a hose that is probably 3/8" male NPT size on each end. On the other end it probably connects to the iron pipe that runs under your trailer to needed service areas. What you want to do is to put an iron tee on either end of that hose. The tee to be sized 3/8" female NPT on all three sides.
On the open side of the tee add the JR Products # 37207-31195 Quick Disconnect Propane Hose Kit connecting the valve end of the hose to the tee.
Since the quick connect valve has a 1/4" NPT size you will need a steel bushing to step down from 3/8" to 1/4". Now plug in the supplied host to the quick connect fitting.
The other end of the QD hose has a 1/4” male NPT so you will need a 1/4” brass coupler to connect to your grill. This coupler and the steel pipe fittings can be found at any large hardware/home store.
The threaded joints will require the JR Products # 37207-30025 thread sealer.
