Recommended Propane Connections for Adding Second Tank and Using Both High and Low Pressure Lines

Question

Question:

Want to add a second 20# tank with both low and HP lines Hello...I have a 2003 coleman Utah pop up. It is currently configured with one 20# tank that feeds low pressure to the inside of the camper, and HP to an outside connection. I want to add a second tank with an auto change over regulator. However, I have been told that once changeover switches tanks, I will no longer have HP LP going to the external LP line? Is there a configuration I can set up to have two tanks, still have low pressure going the inside of the camper and HP to the outside? Plus, what type of Y splitter will I need at the external connection point to run two appliances. Thank you

We have just what you need. You can use the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve - Quick Disconnect and Disposable Cylinder Ports # 103613-MBS to give you the high pressure connection with options for your appliance connections. The high pressure will need to be run off one tank or the other and cannot utilize the auto-changeover. You may be interested in the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose for Small Appliance - Disposable Cylinder Port - 10' # 100476-120-MBS and MB Sturgis Dual Quick Disconnect Propane Hose for Small Appliance - 10' # 100395-120-MBS.

Then you can use the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 which will connect to your pigtails; one off your T-fitting and the other directly off the cylinder. For those pigtails, I recommend the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail - Stainless Overbraid - Type 1 x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 1' # 100833-12.

You will have the low pressure you desire for your trailer coming out of the auto-changeover regulator. No further adapter is needed there.
