Question:
What specific items and part numbers do I need to connect my Champion 4500 Dual Fuel Generator to my 2022 Airstream external propane port. I purchased a hose that has a 1/4 nipple on one end and a 1/4 QD on the other, but the generator will not start. Doesn’t seem to get enough propane. The local camping places are worthless asking for their input.

Expert Reply:
You have already identified the most likely problem when you stated "doesn’t seem to get enough propane". The QD system on your Airstream set up is run through a propane regulator. Connecting to this and using the included regulator with the Champion 4,500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator, # CH44FR is not supplying enough propane, you are dropping the pressure and volume too low.
I recommend connecting your generator to the propane source using the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting, # 103613-MBS. Place this inline with your Travel Trailers tank in front of its regulator and use the T connection for your generators supply hose along with the manufacturers supplied regulator.
