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.
