what is needed to use external propane source

I was wanting to know what is necessary to heat my coach with a external propane source? Is it going to be a major plumbing job? Or can I buy a few connectors and section of propane hose?
The problem I have is that until I head south, I need to keep the coach at 55 degrees and not always there I do not want to run out of propane. My on board propane is 42 gal so I am going to place a 125gal propane tank next to the coach.
Thank you for all your assistance and help. John

My mom ran out of Propane after a couple of months in FL since we didn't switch the refer to Auto, so it ran propane till it ran out. I already had the gas grill connection on the coach - so she just connected 20 lb cylinders as needed - I suspect that is your easiest solution.

Here is what I have, you may find a better price.
