Parts Needed to Connect RV Propane System to External Tank
Question:
I have an opportunity to setup my RV to an existing tank that is only used for a GENERAC generator for my home. I need to know what parts would be required to make the connection at the RV tank. The GENERAC propane tank is about 20 feet from the motorhome. My propane supplier says its a simple install, but I need to supply the parts for the RV connection. Another port for connecting a small appliance would be a bonus and I like quick connect/disconnect fixtures. Thanks

It sounds like you're trying to use an external propane source for your RV, which would require knowing more about the fittings on the tank you're connecting. In most cases we've found that the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting w/ Hoses for POL Valve - 2 Model 250 Quick Disconnect Ports # 103539-MBS works well to allow you to connect to an external propane source but without knowing the fittings going to and from your external propane tank I can't confirm.
If you can provide more information on what fittings are being used, I can provide better direction on this.
