Champion Propane Hose Extension Kit 12-Ft - Longer Reach for RV Use

In this review of the Champion Power Equipment 100736 12-foot Propane Hose Extension Kit, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, no-nonsense accessory for anyone who needs extra reach between an LPG tank and a Champion dual fuel generator or RV setup. The single biggest reason to buy is the added 12 ft of hose that removes placement headaches and lets users position tanks further from equipment without any performance reduction. The review highlights build features, ease of use, and a realistic look at a user-reported fitting issue.

Key Features

• 12 ft extra length: Provides the reach needed to place the LPG tank at a safer or more convenient location without moving the generator or RV.
• ACME Type 1 connectors: Includes both male and female ACME Type 1 fittings so the extension joins standard propane setups with no tools required.
• No tool installation: The hose connects quickly by hand, making setup and teardown faster when powering up or packing away.
• Hose storage strap: Built-in strap keeps the hose coiled and ready for storage, reducing kinks and tangles between uses.
• Carry handle: The molded handle makes it easy to lift the hose for transport and convenient to hang when stored.
• Compatible with Champion dual fuel units: Designed to work with any Champion Dual Fuel generator so you can extend reach without affecting power delivery.

Who It's For

The extension kit is aimed at RV owners, campsite users, and anyone running a Champion dual fuel generator who needs extra distance between their LPG tank and equipment. It is especially useful when the tank must be kept away from heat sources or when campsite layouts force creative placement.

Those who should look elsewhere are users who require a different connector type than ACME Type 1, or those who prefer a factory-installed longer hose rather than an add-on. Also, if absolute leak-free performance is critical without any on-site checking, a professional hose or hard-plumbed solution may be worth considering.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Extends propane reach by 12 ft so placement is flexible and safer.
• ACME Type 1 male and female connectors make the kit broadly compatible and easy to attach by hand.
• Storage strap and handle keep the hose tidy and simple to transport.
• Designed to work without reducing performance with Champion Dual Fuel generators.

Cons

• Some customers reported a press fitting at the tank end can leak and may require attention or tightening.
• The hose requires careful connection; it does not always hook up perfectly on its own and may need manual alignment.
