Pardon my ignorance about propane--all I've ever done with it is plumb
a westy and Wave II heater---but if you can get an adapter to go from
a green bottle to something else, why can't that something else be the
westy system, so that you don't need a $120 extandastay to extend your
stay? Has anyone ever just plumbed a green bottle into the westy
system?
