While getting a 100 gallon tank connect several years ago, and telling the propane guy about cracks in our pigtails, he said the pigtails were made with a cheap plastic compound that doesn't hold up well to UV, even though this is a 5th wheel and the pigtails are in the compartments. He said to get pigtails with quality rubber covers and they will not crack as soon and will also remain flexible for much longer. The original pigtails also did not flex anymore, were hardened up in the curve that they developed while hooked up to the tanks. This is one of those things that shouldn't be scrimped on, as a leak can have dire consequences.
