Any idea where I could get an installation like the one from Myers here in Northern CA?  I live in Menlo Park, and can travel wherever up here to get it done.  Ideas, or do I have to go down to Myers RV?  Thanks

    I have found someone to install my QD fitting in the stove propane line.  I’m getting ready to place my order for the Wave 3.  I am unsure if I need to have a regulator on the hose from the valve to the heater.  Thanks.

I live in Concord and the only place I'll let anyone touch my rig is either the factory or:

The line behind the  stove is already regulated to low pressure, so a direct connection to the Wave 3 is fine.  I'd recommend putting a shutoff valve in the feed to the QD.  Make sure it is accessible without too much trouble.  In our 2002 MB I installed it under the stove right next to the drawer under the fridge.  I could pull the drawer out and turn the valve on/off.

    I’m puzzled about the type of hose needed to use the Camco QD valve and plug that Larry has recommended, with the Wave 3 heater.  Determining end fittings are getting the best of me.

Camco Propane Quick Connect Kit - Valve and Full Flow Plug, Additional Safety Shut- Off- For Use with Low-Pressure Propane Systems, Easy Install (59853)

I’d ideally like 5-6 feet of hose.  Thanks.
