Parts Needed to Connect Portable Propane Tank to Motorhome for Auxiliary Source
Question:
My wife and I recently bought a 1991 Fleetwood Tioga Montara, and were looking for a solution to solve our propane needs without moving the entire motorhome to refill propane. While researching, I found this adapter between the internal tank valve and the regulator. It looks to be a Sturgis product. Im not sure which type of fitting this is, but it looks to be an ACME Type 1. Do you have a hose with the proper fittings to connect this to an LPG tank?

You need to Tee into your propane line before the regulator, like you mentioned and connect a portable DOT tank in there.
Part # 103538-MBS is a tee that fits between your built in ASME tank and your current regulator and it has 2 quick disconnect fittings on it. The included hose connects a DOT tank to one of those quick disconnect fittings so you can run off that tank instead of your built in tank. This keeps you from needing to pack up your motorhome and go somewhere just to fill up on propane.
The picture you added is a disposable cylinder 1-20 fitting which isn't what you're looking for.
