Gas Hose Male to Male Quick Disconnect Fittings

I want to connect my Champion 3400 dual-fuel inverter directly to my 2018 Flying Cloud 27 FBT. To do that, I need a hose with two male quick-disconnect fittings. The hose I use for my Webber Grill has one female and one male, so that won't work.

Does anyone know if A) the Champion Generator can run directly off the AS and B) if so, where I can find the proper hose?

Thank you.

Lewis

I suspect you will find it necessary to “custom” make the hose you describe, …but it would be an easy thing to do… in the worst case your plumber should be able to accomplish that…. But, I doubt your generator will run off the LP connector you have on your AS because any female connection on the trailer is likely regulated to a pressure too low for a gen. Any such connection will need to be at full pressure available from the LP-tanks.

I.E. (another plumbing trick will be necessary, because the trailer tanks have a regulator to reduce propane-pressure to around one-half pounds per square inch (psi). Your dual-fuel gen also has a regulator to reduce propane pressure…. and the .5 psi at your female trailer connector is insufficient for the regulator on your gen…. your gen needs full/unregulated tank pressure to operate.)
