Fifth wheel with two propane cylinders, if running low, can someone hook up a small, like blue rhino bbq tank to one of the hoses to get through a night, and should it be hooked up like regular. Meaning leaving the switch to the large tank as usual, and letting it switch over if it runs out, using the small tank as a backup?
Thanks
Yes you can. Also if you have the proper adapter you can do the same with a motor home..... Done it a few times. (Extend-a-stay or Stay-a-while are the names of the adapters)
NOTE: You don't need an adapter with a Trailer though you may need an overturned bucket to raise the smaller tank to the proper height. (or a few slabs of wood or .. well most anything)
Note 2: On a motor home I've seen some home made "Adapters" to allow external Propane feed.... SCARY.
