Question:

We have two travel trailers that are currently being used for extended periods in a fixed location and Id like to expand the propane capacity on each. Both trailers currently have a dual tank setup with automatic change-over regulators and short type 1 / QCC hose connectors for the multitude of 15# to 40# tanks that we have. I recently purchased two 100# tanks with 10 POL valves with the idea of incorporating one into each trailer setup. Basically, I was hoping to just replace the hose on one side of each regulator with a longer, POL hose and have a setup with a smaller type 1 tank on one side of the change-over regulator and a large POL tank on the other side. Do think this setup will work and if so, can you recommend the parts that Id need? If not, what would recommend?

For a longer POL hose, I recommend the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hose - POL Pigtail x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare # 100019-60 (5 feet) or the Propane Hose - POL Pigtail x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare # 37207-30685 (12 feet). These are the hoses/parts you need in order to change your tanks.
