If you are talking the twenty pounders i did some testing on it and found
that it was difficult and risky but doable if you have the pol threading in
your filler.  Some of the early westy had pol threading inside of the
filler. If your talking the little disposables, it again depends on what
series filler you have on your westy tank.    With the pol threading you
could use the commonly found disposable tank filler found at many camping
and hardware outlets.

 If you have the ones that do not have the pol threading inside then you are
in for an expensive hose.  I could not find the tank connector for under 45
bucks and hose at 25 more bucks and another connector for about 15 bucks.
