Guidance on the Propane System

Nice! Did you end up with a single "standard" RV regulator of around 11wc for everything?

Corrugated stainless steel with a sheath is the newest standard instead of black pipe. Just know for calculations it will flow less than black pipe of same interior diameter.

That's exactly what I've used. From the propane manifold there are unbroken continuous runs of it to each appliance, so no joints or fittings en route to potentially leak or loosen. And to protect it further, I run most of it inside 3/4" EMT conduit, absolutely eliminating any possibility of damage.

How many more decades will it take for NFPA 1192 to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century? Come on guys, we're not living in the 1800s any more. The rest of the world has moved on - why hasn't America? Plumbing a motorhome just like a Victorian house is anachronistic and absurd.

I did get a standard RV regulator that can hook up to two tanks. The guy at the propane store said it could be adjusted if my appliances required it.
