Certified Mobile RV Technician, Darren Koepp, walks you through the installation of an RV propane tank fitting bypass adapter kit that allows you to utilize an external BBQ style propane tank instead of your onboard ASME propane tank, thus allowing you to not have to break camp to refill your propane reserves!

This was one of the most effective and informative videos on how to install it system that I had seen. And as of the time I recorded this which is 8 April at 4 o'clock in the afternoon I was able to connect up an external LP tank to my RV which had an empty tank on board and I'm actually feeling the furnace running and my stove works. So it worked you did it right thank you
Thank you Darren for taking your time to help us fellow RV’ers
Excellent content again with the propane - especially the placement of the connectivity to allow the feed to come into the top of the line and allowing the door to be closed. Keeps prying hands and/or kids out of it.
First video that I watched, and I watched 5 before yours, that answered every single question I had… Thank you for the video and thank you for sharing
Please note that a rv, lp, gas reverse thread nut / fitting has a small cut or score on the nut / fitting which indicates it is reverse thread (where you put the wrench). Also while pliers will work they can over time damage the surface. A crescent or proper open end wrench is preferable. When using a combustible gas leak detector it takes a minute for it to begin sensing. Check the user manual for your unit. Lp Gas is heavier than air so check the bottom of the fittings. Just my humble opinion. Not meant to pick on anything or one, Just sharing info. Extending the plate is a wise thing.
Best propane tip... install a 15 minute mechanical timer on your hot water propane switch. That will give you hot shower water without continually heating water that you won't need till another day. Believe me! This extends your propane supply 2 or 3 times longer... and after your shower you'll still have enough hot water for dishes.
For safety you need to extend the plate on the bottom of the regulator to shield the valve from rocks being thrown up and puncturing the valve.
Great video. Appreciate the explanations of the fittings.
thank you. so
Thanks. I need to do this since I am off grid with a diesel rig for winter
Just did my Forrester 3011 yesterday. Had an issue with the space to the right of the regulator. There was very little space (i.e. yours) and the LP hose was uber stiff. Had to cut two holes in the bay forward of the lp tank to reroute that hose. It appeared in the video the hose you were dealing with was way more flexible than mine. Got mine done and it works but had to sacrifice some space in the storage bay. Seems to me that Forrester could have taken that into consideration into the design. Either use a more flexible hose down range from the regulator or allow more space to the right of the regulator......Good video
I know I'm a year late but several comments criticize the moving of the regulator; from lack of protection from road debris getting kicked up, to drilling the new hole. There's a simple solution to all of this and that is to make the installation of this adapter a part of your RV setup routine since it is so easy to do, and remove it when moving out of the park.
Good job don’t worry about the people thinking you need tape they don’t understand compression fittings. I need to add this adapter to mine after running out while at Sol duc, long drive to refill. I love Sequim pretty much lived there for 6 months a couple of years ago now visit monthly Thanks
You are life saver! I got a new RV and nearly froze when my LP ran low and I had no way to get it filled right away. Found your video and blessed be... literal life saving instruction!! Thank you!
Nice add on for A,B,& C camper rigs.
Great , informative instructional video.
Thank you so much for this very informative video!
Very informative thank you so much my problem is now solved
Good vid I have been looking to do this exact thing thanks
The tanks are not pressurized like a tank containing a gas would be. The pressure comes from the propane evaporating into a gas from the liquid state that it is stored in. Because of this you're not going to lose any pressure by having both tanks open at once.
