My OEM Dometic RM7832 is showing its age.
I bought a new Dometic 110v/propane fridge, when the RM7832 fails. It sits in my warehouse.
I'd like to operate it using a 20 lb. propane tank.
Does anyone know which fittings are appropriate for this connection?
It appears that the new fridge accepts a 3/8" female inverted flare and the propane tank is the standard POL.
Is there a pre-made hose for connecting a 20lb. propane tank to a RV fridge for testing? If so, how would I describe/search for it?
Thanks,

Or you could use the hose from your BBQ grill.
When parked long term I ran my previous RV from a 40# bottle with a BBQ propane regulator and hose from Lowes. Lowes plumbing furnished the necessary fitting to make it all go together. Including a 1/4 turn gas petcock for the RV plumbing.
You'll also need a supply of clean 12VDC to operate your fridge's electronics in addition to 110VAC to operate the heaters for the boiler when you're not using propane.
You definitely need a regulator between the propane bottle and the refrigerator.
