Hi MIke,

I am not suggesting this is at all "legal" to use this in your
jurisdiction, but I used a flexible rubber hose from a local company
called Fairview Fittings.  It is listed under propane line and brake
lines.  I ran it directly from the tank to the stove with no copper at
all.  I removed the stock fridge so had no need for it for that, but
then used another one for my Propex.

Here is a link to an online source for the product:
*http://tinyurl.com/propanehose*, otherwise you can find it on the
Fairview site.

    So, I have a new tank, with a two-stage regulator (I think that's
    what it's
    called).  I had to shorten the copper lines.  But we ran into a problem
    with one that stripped or something in the flaring tool and I had to
    cut
    another inch.  I went and got an elbow and some other fittings from the
    hardware store.  I'm having some doubts about getting this all to
    line up,
    etc.

    Is there any kind of flexible line I could safely use under there to
    connect the tank to the copper lines running in to the van?

    Thanks,

    mike
