Hoses are readily available at RV dealers and shops and up to 20 - 25'. You could couple two lengths of hose together. I would get the largest diameter hose (3/8" ID?) rather than the smaller one that is available (1/4"?). With that long a hose you may get too much pressure drop - BTDT. The hose isn't necessarily cheap and you may want to shop around. The going price around here is $60 or so for a 20' hose. Probably good pricing on the internet if you can wait a bit.
I would also install a shutoff valve on the quick connect fitting under your unit. As pictured above, a dust/dirt cap for the quick connect is a good idea to keep it clean.
I've done this mod and it's pretty straightforward. Makes things a lot more convenient - well worth doing. Definitely gotta remove the regulator as stated above.
