We have them at Camping World in the store.

But I don't see them on line.

I'll find out more on Monday.

I was just looking at them on Friday thinking what a good idea they were.

Happy Trails

Tractor Supply Store has the parts to make a 2 or more bottle manifold. 8) Just don't forget to put in a regulator where it can vent safely.

John,

Pretty easy.

I got the parts the other day at TSC for a single 1# bottle, regulator, hose, and the fitting that attaches to my stove. I've decided to re-work it a little and add a second bottle and add valves on each bottle. The fittings I found for the bottles and regulator were all in 1/4" pipe thread. I do believe you shouldn't use galvanized pipe and fittings, as I have been told the galvanizing will flake off and clog gas jets. Use a pipe dope like Key Tite for gas on the threads, not teflon tape.

Mike

The one that Camping World has is similar to this;

http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemanc ... ryid=27401

But this one appears to have a "shut off valve" on top.

The ones at Camping World do not. (though the new style receivers do have check valves)

It still looks good, I'm buying one and am hooking it up to a catalytic heater.

Happy Trails

Len
