Hello Everyone.I am going to add a "T" before the RV regulators so that I can add a hose for a grill. Don't see where hoses are sold longer than 12 feet, but would like to add about 20 feet total...If I can Find one. Can a 20 foot hose be added without damaging anything if I can Find it? I read somewhere that anything beyond 12 feet could allow to much moisture and damage the regulator??Any help would be appreciated....Thanks Ponder

I have 2 12' hoses connected to my BBQ. Have not had a problem in 5 years.

Thanks ronfisherman .... Best advice usually comes from hands on Experience....Ponder

I have hoses and a manifold that total 40' in length. Never had any issues when I use it. Mind you it's not in permanent use.

I carry extra hoses and have used as many as three 12 footers hooked together. No problems for me, either.Per finding a longer hose:Might be worth asking at your local RV place- mine will custom build any length you want. They don't even charge for "labor"- just parts. I actually prefer the versatility of several shorter lengths, though.

Mine would not be in use all the time either.....just when grilling..Very nice ideas......Thank you all very much.......Ponder

I have a grill that ties into the current gas system. The hose was quite short from the factory with non-standard fittings....so I went to a welding supply store and had a hose built to my specs for a whole $27, using my current fittings.

If you have a local outdoor grill seller, a lot of times they can build a hose whatever length you want.

Back when Marshall Brass made the Extend-a-flow/Stay it came with a 10 foot hose and I got a 2nd 10 foot hose.. You can get as many of those as you need. Though do be aware that when you DISCONNECT from the rv the more hoses you link the more propane is lost to the atmosphere.

When securing your grill post cooking, you should close the main valve and let the propane burn off, then secure the burner valve. I do this at home and in the TT. I never leave the source on and gas in the line.

If your tapping before the regulator be sure you are using high pressure hose.
