Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Advice on Extend-a-stay for propane tank


We will be fulltiming in a few short weeks.  We will be fulltiming, but not traveling much.  We will need to hook up and extend-a-stay hose for our propane. Would love advice, recommendations etc. on how to do this, any comments appreciated.  Thanks.

It looks as if all you do is connect the hose to your current tank and then connect the other end to a 20 or 30lb external cylinder. If you are going to be there for a while and don't want to move the RV why don't you call the propane place and see if they will deliver and setup for you a 100lb cylinder. Then when your ready to move call them back and they will come pick it back up.

Not sure why you require an extend-a-stay connection. A standard 30 lb propane cylinder should last a month or so unless you are running the furnace. I assume you have electric for the hot water and refrigerator. Most newer models do. If you expect to be in the same location for 6 months or so, call a local propane dealer or just go to the campground office. They will set up a tank for you, if the campground allows it.

Some rigs have a low pressure cnnection located near the propane cylinder vault to use a "quick connect" for ease of use. Mine does (Sunnybrook). I am almost sure a lot of the newer units do also. Call you dealer and ask the question.
