Hi Dennis:

Thanks for the response. In reading the description of the tee at Camping
World, I think you have the description backwards. The standard version
allows you to hook up a 20 pound tank, while a deluxe version allows you to
fuel camp stoves and such in addition to hooking up to auxiliary tank. Your
ideal sounds great! I took a look at the fitting, and see exactly what
you're talking about. I'm wondering if there is also a hose that would allow
you to use the ubiquitous 1 pound bottles? I believed Bob Mac talked about
this, although he has not contacted me back about the details.

I'm also curious about what regulations, if any, there are about
transporting portable propane tanks. I'm assuming these would have to go up
on the luggage rack. In some ways carrying around a couple of the small one
lb bottle that are available even in the middle of nowhere sounds more
attractive, and perhaps less hazardous? I know they are not as economical,
but they would not be used for long-term either.
