Does anyone know the size of the propane hose (and size and type of fittings) that goes from the tanks to the trailer on the XLS 22MLE? I installed bigger propane tanks and the existing hose does not reach the tanks, so I need to extend it by about 3 ft

Are you planning on replacing the existing hose or abandoning in place and rerouting the new hose? If replace, then consider pulling the hose first and then getting the replacement.
Iffen it was me I would probably be talking to my local propane provider/installer (not the people at Tractor Supply or U-Haul, a real propane company) about the problem They could probably make up the proper length hose, too. This is pretty serious stuff, if something goes wrong really bad stuff can happen. I would definitely want some face to face time with an expert, which I'm not.John

You should be able to remove the regulator pretty easily and take it to your propane shop. They should be able to make up a 3 foot extension hose that will fit your regulator.

When I installed the larger tanks and connected the two tanks to the existing regulator, the hose from the trailer would no longer reach the regulator as the tanks are taller. I need to add a short extension to this hose, so it will reach the regulator. Grand Design ran a single piece of hose from the discharge of the regulator all the way to the back of the trailer...The should have run that line with a pipe and then a short hose to the regulator...but they didn't .Last edited by Refclown; 02-27-2020, 05:36 PM.

I agree that this should have been a 2 piece hose set up, unfortunate that it is not. Is there a chance that you could get a picture of that end that screws into the regulator?
This will help in determining what type of ends that you need on the hose. I am guessing that it is 1/4" NPT female on the end of the hose but would like a confirmation. If you have a ruler or tape measure to put across the end when you take a picture that would help as well.
