Question:
I recently purchased a used cummins onan 6500 lp generator to install in my fifth wheel rv. I would like to run it from a 20 pound propane tank just to make sure it runs like it should and also produces power. I have enclosed a picture of the male fitting that is on the generator. I have not been able to find the proper fittings to make the connections to the 20 pound tank. Can you help? Thanks

That looks like a male NPT fitting like what the Camco Propane Extension Hose part # CAM59883 has and would connect to. This hose is 5 foot long.
