I forgot to look at the type of threads on my propane tank this weekend when I visited the RV.
Does anyone know which type of threads are on a 1999 Rexhall Aerbus 32MBSL? I want to buy an Extend-a-Flow to run my Weber Q from the main propane tank on the RV. There are two kinds of threads. Old school and the newer ACME type. I don't know which one I have. Thanks in advance for the help.

It does not matter.. The old fitting will work on most all the new tanks and the Extend-a-flow has a dual fitting so it will work with most all hoses as well.
The ACME fitting, normally (The new one) has both external and internal threads.. THE Prest-O-Lite (POL) fitting, also known as a Put On Left since it is a left hand thread, is the internal thread on the Acme Tanks.
To be sure, check your tanks,
The ACME is a big plastic nut that fits OVER the tank valve, the POL is a smaller brass fitting that screws into it.
There are a few odd ones but the odds you have one of those approach zero. (As in one in several million)
It goes between the tank and the pressure regulator. takes a bit of plumbing. Are your two tanks separate? You would only need to put the Extend-a-flow on one tank.

Ok that makes sense, I was hoping it would be easy like at the fill spout
Can you just unscrew the regulator and then screw in the T to the regulator and then run a hose from the T to a mount by the fill spout for easy access?
I assume once I shut the valve for the LPG tank it won't backflow once I unscrew I adapter?
Yes my two tanks are seperate. One runs the generator and the other runs the LPG accessories.
