Does anyone know what the length and size of the propane hose between the regulator and the block under the camper? Or what one to get? Dang squirrels. I'd prefer if they're going to chew them, to chew the one between the tank and regulator. Lol    rpod 180

I would remove the damaged hose, measure and check the size.  E trailer might have a hose made from mr heater.  Or do a yahoo search for a local company that custom make propane hoses. They are not that special.  Very low pressure.  7.5 to 8" wc . And this sounds high.

When I purchased a lockable box for two batteries at HF I had to get a longer hose because of rerouting the line.  Went to a business that sells propane to homes.  They built one for me in about 5 minutes, the price was very reasonable.

I also had problems with squirrels chewing the propane hose. After getting a new hose, I wrapped it with metal tape used by air conditioning companies to attach/repair/install duct work. so far it has worked to keep them from chewing the hose.

My local propane provider said that "some" companies can make custom hoses made from flex metal-I haven't found one in my local area yet.
