Can anyone give me some tips on connecting a Wedgewood 3 burner stove
(http://www.racersrvstuff.com/racersrv/details.php?ITEM=3956470) to
standard propane tank?  I am trying to find the right plumbing
connections between the stove and the propane tank.

The stove comes with an installation guide, but nowhere does it say
what size connection is required, so I'm assuming there must be an
industry standard or something.  I measured the connection and it
appears to have a half inch outer diameter male connector.  So I need
something that will connect to that and on the other end to a propane
tank.  Any help is much appreciated!

Propane is nothing to mess with if you do not know what you are doing.  If
you don't, consult a professional at an RV store.

The tank should have a regulator attached to it, which regulates the
pressure to appliances such as stoves.  There is a standard size hose coming
out of the regulator, for which hose extensions can be bought.

Further, if you are installing this inside an RV, you will need a propane
detector.

Tips don't work too well when it comes to propane. This is one time
you really need to pay a certified installer. Your life, as well as
anyone else using or around your stove, may depend on it!!

As you've been advised, get professional help. The typical tank regulator
connects to flexible hose, but transitions to copper tubing inside the RV
by the use of a compression fitting. You can use compression fittings
inside the RV, but the typical final fitting to the stove is a flare
fitting, requiring the use of a flare tool to form the end of the tubing.
Since you typically buy copper tubing in 50 foot rolls, doing it yourself
for just one job is going to waste some tubing, and you might never use the
flare tool again.

Do you have a local RV parts store with friendly staff?

Best tip is to have all you setting prepared (ie: install the stove,
with no connection & Propane tank) then go to a RV dealer or Propane
shop and have them do all the tubing & fitting.
