HIgh Pressure LP Hookup

My FZ322 has a low pressure quick connect and I want to add a high pressure quick connect. Is there a place to add one? I want to be able to utilize both LP tanks, however, I believe that I can install a T and only use one tank.
Any input?
This is for a Coleman gas grill hookup and othe Coleman accessories.

You might want to have a read of Bob Landry's sticky, "Gas Grills and Campstove Conversions" in the Modifications and Upgrades section of the forum. Because it is a Sticky, if you have any comments or questions about it, please start a new thread. Thank you.

The only place you can get LP high pressure is at the tank or the pigtail. Once the LP goes through the trailer's regulator, everything throughout the unit is now low pressure. So you are correct, a "T" at the tank or pigtail is the only place to pick up high pressure.

FWIW, we camped for many years with a lot of Coleman LP gear, all of which needs low pressure. Over time I accumulated a bunch of manifolds, propane trees, hoses, adapters, etc., all for low pressure. Since we still dry camp for two weeks at a time several times a year, I have found it more convenient to just bring along an extra 20# or 30# tank. I place the propane tree on it and then a lantern on the top of the power pole. Now I've got some good outdoor lighting that I can place anywhere on the campsite that I need it. The propane tree has two more outlets so I can hook up the RoadTrip and a stove. Sometimes we set up a screen house with extra tables and make it into an outdoor kitchen and dining area that is free from bugs and dry if it rains.

Even when we got the Sunline 13 years ago, we stuck with the separate propane systems. Since we depend on propane to run the fridge and water heater for two weeks, it didn't make much sense to hook up the grilles to them. And having that third tank meant we always had a spare if both trailer tanks went down at the same time. (That means I forgot to fill one when it got empty... )

We still use a separate tank for our dry camping cooking and campsite lighting. If we change our camping style and start using parks with hookups, I will probably install a "T" on one or both of the onboard tanks and add some high pressure piping and quick connects so that we can continue to use the Coleman stuff and not need to carry an extra LP tank.

For those that are not familiar, this is a Coleman Propane Tree: http://coleman.com/product/2pc-propa...0#.UTTBgzczTQo

This is how it is used:


Edit to add: Some folks use this with a 10# LP tank. I never bought one even though it's a lot smaller and easier to pack. They're pretty expensive and I already have several spare 20# and 30# tanks. If you already have a 10# tank it may be a better way to go for your low pressure cooking needs.
