    Yes, just buy a new pigtail from regulator to bottle (preferable), or purchase a bottle adaptor.

    Stay on Red gas (Propane) showjumper.

    You can use it all year round unlike Blue (Butane)

    My post was on the assumption you have a bulkhead regulator?

    The difference is only marginal  between red and blue - I don't think I know anyone who keeps blue for summertime use.  I found out the hard way that Butane doesn't like the cold and I wouldn't fafff with it again.  The pigtail pictured by Dave is really
    convenient - no spanners.  There is also a thread on Refillable cylinders which you might be interested in if you have a high use of gas - i.e. off grid - you name suggests you may be on the road a lot of the time.

    Before you buy a new pigtail, just check that your current connection isn't a propane (red bottle) connector, as pictured above, screwed into an adaptor for the Butane (blue) bottle - these look like a big elongated nut usually with the clip on connector to the bottle on one end.  If it is, then you can unscrew the adaptor and connect direct to the red bottle.  [In case you don't know,  the thread on the gas connectors are all left hand thread, so you need to turn them clockwise to undo them]

    If you can stretch to a Stainless steel tail you'll find that it's much better - 20yr life span
