What Parts Do I Need To Connect My Propane Tank System On My Jayco 5th Wheel
Question:
We are about to purchase a fifth wheel Jayco and the generator prep from the factory is 3 - 40lbs tank connected together. We cant find a Fifth wheel with the gen prep so I want to create it on my own. How can I connect 3 tanks with auto-change overs? I will be purchasing the 3 40lbs locally, but all other needs parts from you folks. E-Trailer has been great to work with in the past and I look forward to any input/advice you can give me.

The prep package you are referring to is a two tank system with an extra tank that can be swapped in when one of the other tanks is empty. All you need for this to work is the Compact Low Pressure 2-Stage Automatic Changeover RV LP Gas Regulator, part # 37207-31525, and two of the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail - Stainless Overbraid - Type 1 x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 1', part # 100833-12. The last part you will need a bracket for the regulators, part # 37207-30405.
