I have an M416 style trailer for our travels and we use a simple coleman green two burner stove with that pressure regulator/propane tank connector/ stick looking thingy, we use it with either a 5lb or a 20lb tanks with a hose, I'm looking to mount the stove to the trailer but the main problem I'm trying to solve is to find an easier way to connect the stove to the tank, either with some kind of quick connect or just leave it connected (while turning off the tank when not in use). Are there quick connects for these things? or is there a different stove which works better for keeping the stove connected to the tank? Thanks!

That's good but that leaves me with the bit that hangs off stove, the pressure regulator, which is flimsy and can't be just left connected.

Yes thank you, I think I saw this one or a similar one and I'll probably go that route if I don't find a better solution. I just want to avoid screwing in that pressure regulator and having it stick out awkwardly on the side of the stove. It can't be just left connected because it will unscrew itself with some movement.

Use green Locktite on the fitting… it won’t come undone without tools.
