to follow up:

I have found this tee:
https://www.amazon.com/JR-Products-07-30105-Propane-Branch/dp/B00QUYREEA/ref=sr_1_22?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1533778258&sr=1-22&keywords=propane+tee

This is only a 3-way tee instead of the 4-way tee which some kits include.
In particular, it is missing the 1/4 inch inverted flare fitting, which I
presume is what I would use to plug an external tank into the westy when
the onboard tank is empty.  But I presume that I could get nonstandard
hoses which would do the same thing with the branch fitting on this unit?
It appears to be a bit shorter than the 4-way branch tees (like the one
sold by busdepot).
