Weber Q Gas Regulator Upgrade
Weber's Q series of grills are arguably the most popular grills for campers as they cook well and are generally quite reliable. :B However, as many owners know this grill does have an Achilles' Heel ...

My Q100's regulator is removed and a quick disconnect in its lace. I just use a hose to plug it into the trailers supply. Do the same thing with the fire pit and camp stove.
It's nice not having to store a separate tank.

yup same here, never used the regulator as I bought the webber q because it didn't have the gas control knob built into the regulator so it would be easy to modify to run of the rv supply
The downside being you then have a hose running along the ground from the camper to where your grill, etc, is located ... and in the case of a grill which smokes like crazy when cooking that means a hose long enough to get the grill away from the camper, which in turn also means a long hose that's all too easy to trip over. :M Instead, I park my Q on the campsite table and feed it with an easy to carry 5 lb tank sitting next to the grill - no hose to trip over. As for "storing" an extra tank I always take along a 5 pounder and a couple of propane canisters as spares, along with a couple of torch fuel canisters, in these containment boxes which travel in the back of the truck and prevent the containers from rolling around. It's all too easy. :B
