connecting gas line?

[S. Heisley]

Some propane companies will actually make the line you need, to your specifications, and even fit it in for ya.

The RV store that I go to told me not to even try to do it myself and gave me the name of a propane company that would make and fit the line for me. (Given the option and being a natural-born chicken, I probably won't even try to make my own.)

If you don't want the little throw-aways but don't want a 20 lb can either, you can buy smaller ones. My local hardware store has 4.5 lb refillable propane canisters and the RV store sells 5 lb ones and I saw some 8 lb ones last summer....

... Only caution would be to put rubber hose inside some sort of tubing (3/4 inch pvc pipe) where you run it under trailer to protect it from road hazards when you are on the move...

I would avoid rubber lines under the trailer, but if they are used protection is good... but I agree with the earlier note that using a pipe for this purpose would make inspection difficult. I have noticed that commerically built travel trailers routinely use corrugated plastic wiring covers (like a thin tube slit lengthwise) for protection; they can be removed and replaced for inspection without disturbing any connections.
