Recommended Longer Propane Pigtail for Cargo Area with Limited Clearance
Question:
I have a 5th wheel with 2 30 lb lp ranks. I bought from you 2 of the Camcorder Propane cylinder gas gauge and leak detector. My problem is when I install these adaptors my lp compartment is too small for me to close the door. And the hose from the regulator is too short to work. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Thank you for the picture! It looks like a longer pigtail hose is going to allow you to turn the cylinder enough to connect to your regulator, so I recommend using something like the MB Sturgis # 100833-24, which is 24" long. I've also linked our entire selection of pigtail hoses that have 1/4" male inverted flares and Type 1 connectors. Using a longer pigtail like this should allow you to connect your Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector # CAM59023 to the regulator and allow you to close the cargo door on your coach.
I can't tell for sure by the picture, but if you don't already have an inverted flare adapter on your regulators you'll need to use the Propane Adapter Fitting - 1/4" Female Inverted Flare x 1/4" Male NPT # 37207-30045 so that you've got the standard adapters on your propane regulator.
