Will this regulator run fridge/stove/furnace? or is there a volume limit because it is smaller in size?

It will make my switching to BBQ 20 lb tank much easier.

NO!
That regulator is intended for a single barbecue. I don’t think it will handle a furnace, etc.

Tyler,
You need to use a dual stage regulator for the LP system in the GMC motorhome. They come in vertical or horizontal versions and can be found at Wallyworld.
Horizontal version:

Ok - I was hoping for two reasons. The 90 degree fitting, and it was pre-made, would minimize reconfiguring connections. I may go back to the big tank one day, but summer camping the storage seems valuable.
Thanks
