    I'm the best man in a bachelor part coming up in a couple weekends. We're traveling about 600 miles away in a fully packed vehicle. My question is, I have a kegerator at home, and would like to put together a traveling kegerator. Basically, would like to keep the keg pressurized, likely just keep in a fridge, and able to dispense. Are there any kits out there that would allow me to hook my gas tank up to the keg and just dispense from the fridge at the location we'll be staying? I don't want to unhook all the lines on my fridge at home, so I'd rather just buy a kit if possible. I don't have a local homebrew store, so I'm looking for something I can get delivered in a few days.

    Take your coupler off at home, and using it and it’s washers, buy a few feet of gas line, a picnic tap line, two beer nuts, two tail pieces, and three worm clamps.

    Something like this is the complete kit.

    An economy conversion kit is just a fridge conversion with a Cobra tap, and many on line retailers have this. Probably Amazon if you need it in 2 days.

    Cheaper and just as easy if you do what @DougC123 suggests. You really should only need to buy the Cobra tap and possibly a tail piece to fit the line.

    Be sure you fridge is big enough to hold the keg. Otherwise you could use a tub filled with ice and a jockey box.

    Cheers.
