Aupoko Propane Fitting Adapter Kit

The item in my kit

I bought Aupoko Propane Fitting Adapter Kit as part of my camper van equipment.

This assortment sits alongside the individual propane adapters in my purchase list. Keeping a kit separate from a single fitting makes it easier to see what kind of connection hardware each entry represents.

Where it fits my build

My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.

I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes

The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.

The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.

I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

The two alternatives are individual POL-to-QCC1 adapters. They focus on one connector transition rather than the assortment of adapters and couplers supplied in this kit.
