Volks,

I'd like to second Richard's approach.

This is what I did to the RoadHaus with two exceptions.

1. I used two new tanks complete with matched "Auto Fill Valves"
purchased from Bus Depot

2. I installed a standard L-Shaped connector ahead of the regulator on
the second tank for the Propex Furnace connection.

The two tanks are connected just after the primary tank regulator via
the T-Connector that has already been mentioned.

I keep one tank valve off and one on.

Switching when one tank runs dry.

all roads lead to VW repair shops,

I described how I installed a second tank and BenT
put it on his web pages:

Note that I did not connect high pressure.  I run
each tank separately.  That is, I run everything off
of one tank until it is empty and then switch to
the other.  That way, I never run out of propane--
in theory.  In fact, I've screwed up so now write in
my maintenance log when I fill a tank.  ;-)
