I am in the middle of converting my 14x7 cargo trailer into a "toy hauler" travel trailer.
I want to hard pipe a quick connect line under the trailer to connect my firepit and/or gas grill.
I have done some reading and I think I understand the working of the propane system, stage 1 (tank to pipe) reduced pressure to around 10-15 psi and stage 2 (pipe to appliance) reduces pressure further to .5 psi.
My question is this, is the 10-15 psi first stage a readily available part? Am I way off base with my understanding? I know I cant run the .5 psi gas to my quick disconnect line as I will then need to remove my regulator on the appliance (which renders it useless anywhere else).
Any help would be appreciated.

I've seen the 15psi regulators. May need to order or go to a propane sales outlet to get one. The 15psi ones I've seen have been bright RED, probably to distinguish them from a 0.5psi low pressure regulator.
you may need a different hose to connect from the 15psi outlet down to the hard pipe. Std low pressure hoses are designed for 0.5psi
