The best way I know to do that is to visit most any RV store and ask for an "Extend-a-Stay" or "Stay-a-while" adapter (Assumes you have a motor home)
These also work on trailers with removable tanks but they have a cheaper model (Extend-a-flow)
These go between the tank valve and the regulator.. All the above have
A Propane INLET that matches the POL valve on the Class A tank and/or the ACME valve on a trailer (NOTE: POL connectors also fit ACME valves) An outlet Again either POL or ACME to accept the current line to the regulator. And a "Quick Connect" that looks amazingly like the top end of a disposable Propane bottle (Identical in fact).. The hose hooks to here and has a matching fitting on it's other end.
In addition the Extend-a-stay type adapter has an INLET, this is about a quarter inch threaded fitting with a plug in it, and if you get the KIT, it will come with a 5 foot hose, ACME coupler on one end, fitting matching the inlet on the other. This gives you the following options:
All of them: You can run a grill or LP gas light or other LP gas appliance off the Motorhome/trailer tank, I have a 2nd 10 foot hose so I can go up to 20 feet from the tank with mine. (Kit comes with 10 foot appliance hose).
Extend-a-stay/stay-a-while.. I carry an "Emergency" tank of Propane, about 3-4 gallons.. Enough to last me a few nights even in the coldest weather I camp in should main tank hit EMPTY. Works great.
