Which Kit for Adding Aux Propane Tank to Motorhome if Tank Runs Out
Updated 01/15/2026 | Published 01/12/2026
Question:
Which Sturgi-Stay kit should I purchase to add a 5lb propane tank if my onboard propane tank goes out? Unfortunately, Im not sure of the hose sizes and was hoping youd have a fitment guide that you could look over. The RV is a Class C 2012 Itasca Navion 24M MB Sprinter cutaway with a centerline 13 gallon onboard propane tank.

Hey Sy, the MB Sturgis kit part # 103538-MBS that you referenced is what you are looking for. This is designed to provide you with a way to add an aux tank in case your main runs out and have it run through the rest of the propane system of your RV.

The kit came with everything needed and took less than 10 minutes to install. Hose length provided was perfect for allowing the compartment door to close with no pinch points. Can be hooked up to anything with propane. Works great!!! GC
