interesting and timely subject -

my coach, frame mounted (ASME? 50gal?) uses a rubber hose from the regulator
threaded black pipe (under the coach)....the black pipe then has copper lines that feed into the coach/appliances.

i was fed up w/ 1 lb green bottles (for my grill), and temporarily was using 20lb grill bottles (i carried the grill bottle in the basement storage with out issue)...always making certain the tank was blocked in & the valve was off/tight during transport or non-use.

i recently ran a copper line (single flared) from the black pipe (under the coach) to the back of the coach, where i terminated the copper pipe w/ a QD connector (ive converted my outdoor grill to accept the QD connector).

securing the copper line under the coach presented some issues but i was certain to protect & insulate the copper line w/ wire loom & foam pipe insulation...which i then secured to frame points w/ zip ties or rubber insulated pipe clamps.

im wondering, do i need a separate shut off valve on the copper grill line ?
i dont know where id put the shut off valve...and still be able to get to it.
