My 2012 New Horizon rig came with an auxilary propane connection. It is a pipe that goes from the low pressure side of the propane system to the curb-side and sticks out just a little bit so you can operate the quick connect collar.

My question to you folks is, if you have one of these, where did you get a hose with a male quick connect on one end and a right-hand threaded inverted flare on the other end?

And i am guessing you probably had to switch out the regulator on your grill to just a valve or something since the gas is already low pressure. Yes?

Hello:

Although our NH did not come with an auxiliary propane connection, I needed some propane connections to use my portable grill. My suggestion is that you locate a propane dealer in your area that sells propane tanks and accessories. The two businesses I went to had all kinds of fittings and they made me some custom hoses with the fittings I needed at very reasonable prices. Try calling first and just ask if they can set you up with the parts you need. If I were you, I would avoid camping stores, since they are generally much more expensive and you probably won't get exactly what you want. Good Luck! P.S. As the rallymasters for the 2013 New Horizon Rally, my wife and I would like to invite you to our rally being held in Kerrville, Texas from April 29th - May 4th. Information on the rally is contained in this post.

My situation is a bit different as I had to run a line to a gas point but the outcome is the same. I went to a local barbeque place and had them make up an eight foot hose to the grill and an LP quick disconnect at one end and the matching male at other end of the hose. I then had a short length of hose with the male fitting made up to come from the grill. As you guessed the regulator stayed on the 5# bottle at home and, a separate hose so the grill can be used at home.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I had looked at some custom hose shops but was wondering if I was making something harder than I needed to. Just maybe there was something out there already. But it is looking like that is not the case.

Thanks for the invite to the rally. It is one I would really like to attend and as a bonus it is in a place I really like. However it is not to be this time. My retirement date will not have come by April so I will still be a cube dweller in April. We will be in Junction City in July though. It is time to have a few 'warranty tweaks' on the rig. So we will be 'rallying' with others there for factory work or picking up their new rigs.
