Need two 15" stainless steel braid propane pigtails for my new rig. Comments welcomed on brand. Marshall Excelsior or MB Sturgis, others??I want a critter proof hose, thus the SS. Thanks to all who respond. I purchased a Cavagna auto changeover regulator. Not many places carry the SS braid hoses.

Have you checked propane places around your house? Not the places that fill the 20 and 30 lb. tanks, I'm talking about the places that have a large quantity and fill trucks. There's one near my house that had a bunch of supplies like hoses, etc.

I tried numerous local propane places. Everyone told me that they only sell tanks regulators hoses to people who enter into a purchase agreement for routine propane delivery. My campground has many park models but they all use either 2 30# or 2 40 # tanks. No 100 # tanks are allowed. The CG owner has a propane tank filling station and 90 % of the campers buy from him. I can find the non SS braid pigtails at several RV places and other stores. But no one has the SS pigtails. Because this is a park model, the tanks will be sitting outside. Some folks have had critters gnawing on their hoses. Thus the SS need.Frustrating as I want to buy locally, but no one wants to sell. I have found sources via the web, but I don't know which is best. The Marshall pigtails are more expensive. But I don't know if they are better quality. Thanks.

How about a braided stainless steel hose sleeve? I just saw some on Amazon. Anywhere from 1/2" up to 1 3/4". Secure it with zip ties?

The sleeves are on option, but I think buying the SS braid pigtails is cheaper. I don't know anything about the two brands I mentioned above. We are retiring soon and I wan't something as fool proof as possible. Thanks all.

I did the Google search and I found the Marshall and the Sturgis SS braided pigtails.

I was seeking comments on which of those two pigtail brands is best. If they are the same quality I will buy the cheapest. This is the pigtails that run from the regulator to each tank.

Many places have the rubber pigtail. But since this if for a Park model where the tanks sit outside exposed to elements and critters, I wanted to get the SS braid pigtails.

Am I misunderstanding, you want a SS hose to keep critters from damageing them? What's wrong with normal copper?

Normal copper doesn't come with ACME Nut which has safety features and is designed to be removed/connected by hand....no tools needed to hookup propane cylinder

Wow, they must have way too much business!!!!

Local Propane shop here is more than happy to make up custom hoses. The price they charge is no more or less than off the shelf!!
