Propane Tanks

[Don Spithaler]

Hi guys
We are staying in a park in Fl that will not let you fill your
propane tank at the site. Rather than unhook & go out to have it
filled I want to use a 30# bottle. How would be the best way to hook
it up? Would you go in to the same regulator on the bulk tank or would
it be better to put a regulator on the 30# tank & it in after the tank
regulator. If I tap it in after the tank regulator what type of
regulator would you use for the 30# bottle?
Thanks Don Spithaler

Get an Extend-A-Stay. You can install it yourself. Simple to do.
Camping World sells them. Cost about 40 bucks.
We use the Extend on our 5 gal bottle.
Fill it about every 5 weeks.
Easy to carry and exchange if needed.
We haven't filled our 40 gal in 7 years.
Filled it last month as someone told me the fill valve might leak if
not used once in a while.
