Consider plumbing in an extend-a-stay while you are at it. That thing is handy but was not a plug-n-play install for me.

Also consider ditching the Westy fridge for a Vitrifrigo and remove the fridge line altogether. :)

I am plumbing in my new propane tank and decided to pull the copper tubing as well and replace it.

In the future I'm planning to add a Propex heater (not sure where yet) and possibly a second propane tank.

So, I'm thinking that I should put in a 4-way now and cap unused ways so I don't have to break these lines again in the future.

Good plan?

Also, why do they run 2 small lines from tank to fridge & stove rather than one line up and T it off inside? I assume you'd need a bigger line up to the T to handle the greater volume and "off to the races". Having not dealt with natural gases in the past, I'm wondering what the design reasoning is here.

Happy Trails, Scott
