At any big box store selling BBQs you can get a replacement BBQ propane regulator with built-in hose. This will screw onto the portable tank and thread onto the fridge fitting if you are careful to get one with the right end on it. I have done this myself. Cost was under $20. Not suitable for long term use on a motor vehicle, just for testing. Mark
