Title: LP Gas questions
Post by: Chip Chester on December 21, 2017, 06:53:22 pm
In this thread: LP gas "T" for small tank use. Does it need to be sealed when not in use? (http://www.lazydazeowners.com/index.php?topic=31162.0)
the use of Extend-a-stay T-fitting and hose was discussed.  Can an additional (appropriately "DOT rated") tank be added under the coach, with just pipe or hose between them?  Or does it need to have a valve to switch from original to supplemental tank?

In another thread, folks have place auxiliary power inlet boxes in the LP compartment.  They used outdoor-rated boxes with BX (but not waterproof) wiring protection.  Waterproof or not, none of that type of consumer stuff is vapor-proof.  I'm just wondering if the propane fill-up guys would balk at having electrical devices that close to the business end of their fill hose -- even if the electric is not in use at the time.

I'd like to have a larger reserve of gas for chilly-season furnace use.  If I can do it without portable tanks, that would be more convenient.
