  • First Propane Supply Line Replacement

    Hi everyone!

    Today I was attempting to replace the (soon to be) recalled LP regulator on our 2021 22MLE. Long story short, I overtorqued when reattaching and split nut on the supply line to the trailer. Looking to possibly replace on my own, I found a 6’ line on etrailers. We store offsite; does anyone know the length of the line from regulator to first manifold junction? Kicking myself - we leave Friday for a trip to Deception Pass State Park straight from work.

    Hi BradyInThePNW Welcome to the Forum and the family. It sucks that your first post is a problem, and I'm sorry that I don't have an intelligent answer (lots of them otherwise). I'm sure that someone with a reasonable answer will be by shortly, but to hedge you bets you may want to send your question to Customer Service along with your VIN Number.
    I would also call a few propane suppliers in the area and see if they can possibly replace the fitting or have a replacement if you bring it to them. Looking at the diagram provides some numbers but not anything I found as workable.

      Your not going to like my answer. I just looked under my 2021 22MLE. That line runs to the back of the trailer with the first junction located near the dump valves. It is about 20 feet long! you may want to see if there is someone near you that can either fix your line or put in a junction closer to the tanks.
      Sorry for the bad info,

        Here is the link to the parts breakdown page. https://www.granddesignrv.com/owner-...s/detail/71604 Maybe a brighter bulb can decipher the numbers as far how long your LP line is.

          Just making a guess. The dash number is length in inches.

            I understand your situation. I changed my Winntec regulator in advance of the rumored recall later this month. Removing the mainline from the fitting wasn't too bad but getting the fitting out of the old Winntec regulator was a bear. I thought I was going to have to go buy a new fitting to install.

            I would try ThePowells suggestion to locate an LP dealer and see if they can replace the fitting on your hose. I know my mainline has about 8 inches upfront that is excess.

              As much as I dislike the answer, I can’t thank you all enough for the help! I am reaching out to some local propane companies to see about a repair. I did find the hose in the parts lookup and have a quote from Flex-Tech for a replacement. That’ll be Plan B at this point. I also couldn’t get the fitting out of the old regulator and headed out to buy a new one. By then I had already broken the fitting when I put it back together with the old regulator. Good times!

                Just to put a bow on the story. We headed up to Deception Pass as planned and stopped at Northwest Propane in Mount Vernon on a lark. In spite of being appointment only for service, they came out to the parking lot and replaced the ferrel and nut. Ten minute detour when I couldn’t get much help back home, they made this trip and next weekends a lot more enjoyable. Shout out to that team and to all the great members of this forum!
