How to Use an Exterior Propane Tank on a Trailer with Dual Interior Propane Tanks
Question:
The description says this connects to a disposable cylinder. I don’t want to use a disposable cylinder. I want to connect my 100 pound tank that stands about 5’ tall to my trailer that currently takes a 7 pound cylinder and I want to extend the hose to reach it. There is already a regulator on the system. Do I need a second one because the tank is larger capacity? Does that mean the one installed on the RV will not handle a 100 pound tank? Also the 100 pound tank requires a male fitting while the tank in the RV requires the green female fitting shown in the photo. Another issue is that I need this set up by Monday.

I have exactly what you need to hook the exterior propane tank up to your trailer. For this, you will want the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting w/ Hose for Type 1 Valve part # 103614-MBS. The red female type 1 connector on the t-fitting will attach directly to one of the interior tanks and then the green female type 1 connector you just took off that tank will then attach to the male type 1 on the t-fitting which is directly adjacent to the red female type 1. The disposable cylinder port will remain unused and the female inverted flare on top of the t-fitting will then connect to your exterior tank via the included extension hose.
Please let me know if you have questions.
