At least for temporary, this should work: The tank connects to the regulator with a POL fitting. Get a BBQ tank and an extension hose with a female POL fitting (come to think of it, I don't know if these are available -- well, we'll hope) and attach that to the regulator for use. Alternate possibility, install the regulator on the BBQ tank and run low-pressure hose to the tee fitting where the two lines go off for the stove and reefer. Trouble here is you've got that regulator sticking out of the BBQ tank, just waiting to get broken off. See what a local RV guy thinks, they seem to have lots of hoses with different ends on them...
