using a propane tree to run all appliances

I am looking for the best way to connect all of my camping appliances to a propane tree. I not sure how to connect to the tree on my appliances that have a hose connected to regulator that has a POL female attachment. What setup would work the best?

    My grill is the same, a trip to Cabela's or your choice of store will have an adaptor.

    Then I think you are SOL. I've never seen a bottle tee.

  • I bought hoses with regulators and cut one end off, bought appropriate brass fitting to fit the tree. Most hardware stores carry barbed fittings so you can match up your hose to almost anything you have.
  • You are talking about "appliances" outside the trailer, right? If so, its pretty simple and straight forward. I've been doing it for years with my grill, stove and a light on top. Bottle, hoses and the tree. Each "appliance" has its own regulator so I'm not sure what the problem is that you are having.
