Hey Thomas,

Since you have a motorhome you should have a large ASME tank. You'll want to go to the connection at the tank and see if you have a tee like the # 103537-MBS. If not you can pick one up and get it installed inline at the tank. Depending on which tee you go with you'll need a hose with a compatible connector for the tee and to the other tank. When your ASME tank runs empty or you just want to conserve it you can shut off its valve, connect the auxiliary tank to the tee, open the valve on the auxiliary tank and use it to fuel the gas lines in the motorhome.

If you go with the # 103537-MBS you can use a hose like # 100794-120-MBS.

Kevin, Thank you so much! Does the tee need to be installed by a certified technician, or do you know if there is a YouTube video on installation? Thanks, Tom

@Tom If you're not used to working with LP gas then it's best to have a qualified technician install the tee. You could also have them check the regulator to see if it needs to be cleaned or adjusted while you're at it.

Hey Kevin, This is a brand motor home. Having a 3rd party inspection done before we pick it up on Saturday. Thank you for all your help. Once I get a close look at the LP tank and hookup I'll know if I can do it or need a certified tech. Thanks again!
