Extend-a-Stay question
Is it OK to open the valve on the main tank while connected to an external tank. Don't want to run out of propane overnight.

If I'm going to sit in one spot for a few weeks, I fill the frame tank just before I park it. I then treat this as back-up and emergency fuel. I install the extend-a-stay hose, and a 30LB cylinder. If it runs out in the middle of the night, I switch valves and run the on-board tank until morning, when I can refill the 30. At no point are both valves open at once, and I avoid using the frame tank as much as possible. At the end of a couple months long stay, the on-board tank still has quite a bit of propane. MrWizard probably does it better than me, by having two spare tanks, but I really don't have the room for any more tanks, so one works fine.
