"Tapping in" is really pretty easy. Just unscrew the regulator's POL connection at the closed service valve, keeping in mind it's a left hand thread. Then screw in the Stay Awhile's POL fitting in it's place and the original POL into the Stay Awhile. All done except for connecting the hose to the Stay Awhile port and the portable cylinder.

So you want to attach a portable cylinder rather than a second permanent mounted tank?
I agree with the extend-a-stay connection mentioned above. People often rent a 100# cylinder for extended camping when more propane is needed. Smaller 20#, 30#, 40# work perfectly fine too.

And at some point you do need to tap into the propane feed line to use the propane in the RV systems.

Here's my setup with added shutoff valve for BBQ.

That hose connected to the extra Cylinder MUST connect to your Propane Line

Upstream before the Regulator....so high pressure from extra Cylinder is controlled by the RV Main Reg

Stay Awhile Kit, Extend a Stay Kit, Camco, Marshall Etc

Extend a stay is the best way to go.
Very easy to install on most systems where tank is mounted on the outside of frame rails.
You disconnect the regulatory assembly from tank, add in the tess assembly.
