High-Pressure Propane Connection for RV Campfire Using MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay

Updated 11/11/2026 | Published 11/09/2026

Question:

eTrailer, This is a question for someone with RV propane fitting experience... I spoke to one of your reps and they recommend I write this up in an email. I decided to make a brief video because I thought it might be easier to understand what we are after. We are in the process of getting a propane campfire that requires 5 psi of pressure and our current regulator is limited to 0.4 psi standard RV. I am looking for feedback on how to best set up the fittings especially for Option 1 discussed in the video. Option 2 seams fairly straight forward minus ing the correct high pressure hose. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks, James

Hey James, thanks for the video and diagrams! After looking at your two options, I recommend Option 2 using the MB Sturgis # 103537-MBS. This allows you to keep the original 5 psi regulator supplied with your campfire rather than trying to find a separate regulator that matches its requirements.

Running high-pressure propane through a properly rated hose to an appliance with its own regulator is common with portable grills and fire pits, so there's nothing wrong with that arrangement when installed correctly.

You'll need a compatible high-pressure propane hose with the appropriate length and fittings to connect the Sturgi-Stay to your campfire's regulator. If you can tell me what kind of connection you have on the campfire's regulator, and the length, I'll see what we have available.

What kind of campfire is this?

Hi Robin, The propane campfire includes an 8 foot hose with a quick release on one end for the grill and a QCC1 fitting for a propane tank on the other. I believe I need an adapter to go from female QCC1 to a male Model 250 quick disconnect. For the hose I need a male quick discconnect on one end and the other with a female quick disconnect. I'm seeking a properly certified high pressure hose with the correct connectors that is 15 - 20 ft long. With the additional 8 foot hose with the regulator, that should give me plenty of hose length. We are in the process of getting a Howl R3 or R4. Here is the link to their hose / 5 psi regulator. All of their campfires use the same hose setup: https://www.howlcampfires.com/products/replacement-regulator-hose Let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks, James

@JamesP thanks for the additional information! The MB Sturgis # 103537-MBS will let you connect upstream of your RV's regulator and continue using the original 5 psi regulator supplied with your HOWL campfire. However, we don't have a 15–20' high-pressure hose with the connections you need. You'll likely need to source one locally and possibly use adapters to connect the Model 250 quick disconnect to the QCC1 fitting on your existing hose.
