Connecting a Dometic to an external 40 lb tank

Hello! We have a class a RV that is stationary and we would like to hook up the Dometic fridge in it to an external 40 pound propane tank. Because the RV is unable to move we would not be able to drive it somewhere to have the attached propane tank filled up. So, my question is what do we need to buy in order to be able to hook up the external propane tank to the fridge? Can't wait to hear your answers! And thank you for your advice!

    Are you wanting to hook it up specifically to the fridge only or to the MH itself?
    Why not just park the tank close to the onboard tanks and get an extension hose?

    Just the fridge? I would think you'd have to hook it up to the propane lines/fittings that are already there which serve the entire coach. Hard to imagine just the fridge.
