External Propane?
Could the propane accessory connection be used "backwards" to connect an external propane bottle?
Camping semi-long term, in cold weather, means using up propane!

I don't think so. Seems that would be on the wrong side of the regulator.

I don't see the harm in it provided that the larger tank you were temporarily connecting had a correct regulator.

The connections would need to be made up (Not available commercially) & I doubt any propane installer would do it. And a regulator would be needed.
I would not try it myself........

Oaklevel,
Sweet Mustang! Pic's small but looks like a 65? I had 3 65's, one of each body style a few years ago.

You can get an Extend -a-Stay kit and use a 20/30 lb. bottle. It ties into the line before your regulator for the coach. I installed one on mine for when we are in one place for longer than a week. Easy to throw empty bottle in car and refill. I just make sure I have 3/4 tank load in coach before we stop.

Another Alternative from Camco. This setup also includes a 12' LP hose so you can hook up another gas appliance:

did you all take the current fitting out and add the extend a stay, or add the extend a stay onto the original fitting.

I put mine between the regulator and tank no problem, no adapter.

The park I'm stay the winter in provides a large external tank. They also disconnect my tank so I'm running strictly on their external tank. Works great, and they come around to do refills too

Since you are wintering in a very cool place and will gain a lot of experience in winterization of the Berk, could you please give us a report after later down the line?
