The new adapter is a 't'-fitting also?  I was referring to the actual
camper's regulator brass t-fitting.  It's on the output side of the
regulator, making one feed input able to connect to 2 lines on it's output
side.  Your new adapter needs to go in between your brass tee and your
regulator output to it, not from one of you brass tee outputs to one of your
lines, as you've described.  If you remove the whole tank assy and the
regulator plastic stone cover, you'll be able to clearly see all of this.
