Low pressure propane quick connect

Tim - I just washed my TM, and noticed that the hose that comes FROM the regulator TO the TM terminates at the back of the tongue, right where the "box" of the trailer begins (I can take a picture if you don't know where I'm talking about). It is screwed into a coupler (maybe a union?) that goes through a piece of sheet metal, and the copper gas line attaches to the other end of the coupler. I don't know what type of fitting is between that hose and the coupler (maybe straight pipe with NPT threads?), but that would be a simple and easy spot to drop in a tee for your genny. Not cutting, bending, or flaring required. Just a wrench, and maybe some pipe sealant or gas-rated Teflon tape.

Dave - I had the same idea and am looking for the parts. Also, just behind that point on the "box" on my TM there is a loop of copper going toward the furnace in the slide that may be a good place to put the tee if I need to cut the copper. Thanks.
