If your quick connect is on the low pressure side, that means there is a
pressure regulator between that connection and the main tank (at least one).
Probably the reason Fleetwood is staying out of it is because the info would
have to come from the manufacturer of the regulator(s)
be: Is it safe to push high pressure propane backwards through their
regulator? I know you said something about the external tank having a
regulator, but the pressure is still going to have to be high enough to fill
your main tank.
>>>if I close the onboard tank using the solenoid
Does your onboard switch bypass the regulator?
Just my $.02.

Jim,
Ohio must allow the use of external tanks since most other people here have
them. I just wanted to make sure I wasn,t harming anything by back filling
the propane lines from the quick connect fitting. The propane company thinks
it would be OK but I called Fleetwood and they will not answer anything
because of liability concerns.

laws on propane external bottles vary from state to state...
it would be wise (better) to contact the place that sells and sets up
bottles in your area ...
opinions on here will vary according to the various Fed/State laws
that govern that -- and that type advice would best be from proper
source ....
