Default Propane parts help

Anybody have an online source for buying a propane pressure gauge and the fittings adaptors to take the propane tank down to -4an.

Every time I go to a propane place asking for these parts they ask me what is it for and when I tell them they act like I am making a bomb.

I ran across several the other week just by Goggling for
propane adaptor or some such.

Obviously this is all for your pop-up tent camper, summer's
coming and you want to get that new stove rigged up.
Not like it's any Porta-Potti-clerk's business how you blow
yourself up anyway. But anyone who's that nosy deserves
to be chaffed.

I kind of like the idea of adapting up for those little
1-2lb disposable bottles; just screw in a new one every
time you fill the nitrous bottle. Easy enough to hide,
maybe down where the AIR pump used to be, and small
enough that it might not kill you if bad things happen.
10lb N2O, 1lb propane, roughly right proportion I guess?
Just so long as when jetted right, you run out of N2O
first.

You can find all manner of bottle to pipe thread adaptors
and work from there.

I agree with the none of their business part. Lets just say that I am no longer welcome in two of the large propane place here in town.
