Connecting propane tank to stove without 5430 regulator
Posted: Wed Feb 16, 2022 11:01 am
Greetings,
This is my first time posting on the forum. I’m also new to the teardrop community having recently purchased my first trailer. I have a 2005 Hunter HU-4 Fat Shadow and I’m trying to get it dialed in for a summer of fun.
I updated the stove slide but the problem is the rigid pipe/regulator that connects to the stove sticks out and blocks the drawers. I’m using a 10# propane tank and have the high-pressure hose that connects to the stove regulator. The stove is a Coleman Model 5466A Series with a 5430 regulator set to 15 psi.
I have asked both Coleman and GasOne for advice and they both declined to provide any advice. Liability concerns, I guess.
I have come up with three options and am hoping the community can guide me to a good decision. I’m hoping not to blow up the trailer or burn down the forest!
Option 1 – Replace the Coleman high pressure hose with one that includes an adjustable regulator that I can set to 15 psi. Connect directly to the tank and the stove, eliminating the 5430 regulator. Tank -> high-pressure hose with 15 psi regulator -> stove.
Option 2 – Add a second hose between the 5430 regulator and the stove. So, tank -> high-pressure hose -> 5430 regulator -> high-pressure hose -> stove.
Option 3 – Play it safe, leave things alone and deal with the inconvenience.
I have searched through the forum but haven't found any posts that directly address this question. Thanks, in advance, for all your feedback.
