What about the 20 (?) foot extension hoses sold at the local RVs-are-us?? I'm thinking of having a 5 gal tank at the back door with a hose running inside the van up to the double door with a "T". One branch running up to the counter top and the other with maybe a 20(?) ft. hose for outside cooking. Don't tell me that might not be the right way. An aside, I'm thinking of using the 5 gallon just because you can exchange an empty for a full for $20 on any street corner. Also I'm thinking of carrying two so i will have a back-up full one when the first one runs out while the steak is still saying 'm-o-o-o. Thoughts?ahh_me2 said:Totally agree with you on that!
Not dis-agreeing with you on this, but I suppose I should have added a few things:
All copper lines/ joints on propane systems must be done with proper flare fittings.
People with little experience on making these flares, should definitely minimize the number of connections.
And the more joints/connections in any given system, the higher the likely-hood of a failure, even if a professionally done gas fitting job was used.
At the end of the day on here, it's to empower people to make their own informed decisions, which I guess is why I pointed out it is legal for inside tees and unions, as to the "should they?" well, they can make their own decision.
And as for you challenging "legality" against "best practices", I'd do the same if our roles were reversed!
Cheers!
