Like it says, has anyone ever done an extend a stay setup using the already existing quick connect in the M2 chassis. I know that quick connect is post regulator, so you would have to regulate the extra bottle. Just trying to find out if anyone has done this and if it is easier than trying to use the extend a stay kit to tap into.
Story behind this, a good friend of ours just got reassigned to help in the Covid ICU. I heard that they were going to try to setup a tent and basically a mop sink and bucket in their garage for her to live so she wont worry about infecting the rest of her family if by chance she comes down with it. I was not going to have that and offered to put my Seneca in their driveway and give her a much better place to live. They are going to sanitize it and we will let it sit there a week or two after it is cleaned. My worry here is propane capacity. Right now we just got a winter storm and the lows are in the 20's for the next few days. I dewinterized obviously so she can actually use it so I am running the propane furnace to keep parts of the underbelly warm. I have a few radiant heaters so she can burn electric instead of propane normally. However, with her using the shower, sink and what not for hot water, plus the furnace for a few days, I think she may end up emptying it if she needs the rig for more than a couple weeks. We have acres of space so I am just gonna dump the greys on the land, and its just her, so it would take a LONG time to fill the black, its just the propane I am worried about. Please anyone with insight to this, please let me know. She starts her first shift tomorrow so I wont have access inside the rig after that, but I can work outside at the tank without a big issue.
Note I already have a hose to hookup an external grill to the quick connect. I was thinking about just getting a tank regulator with hose, add a coupler, to adapt back that grill hose and then feed it that way. I am just not sure if this is kosher as I dont know if you can have two different tanks, each with their own regulator feeding a source. Do I HAVE to tie the secondary tank in before the RV's regulator and just use the one regulator or can each tank have their own?
