I sure appreciate your patience with me!!

Read my post above. You can use it if the appliance doesn't have a regulator.

You can't double regulate the appliance.
You can remove the existing regulator from them and add quick disconnects. All of my propane stuff is converted for that purpose:





I have 35 feet of hoses with QD's on each end so I can use these items just about anyplace.

Thanks for the info. Does the Extend-a-Stay fasten to the fixed tank (inside the BIG door), or does it plug into the propane connection on the little door (that is ONLY a propane connector...nothing else in there). And where do you purchase this? I've done searches, but can't find a product called "Extend-A-Stay", although the search engine says it exists. Amazon links to tee-adapters.

It goes between the fixed tank and the RV's propane line - inside the big door.

EDIT: The "deluxe" kit comes with the hose for the grill:

I think it's because the connection coming off of your RV is already regulated, and in order to hook up the road trip you have to connect the hose to the regulator that comes with the grill. You can't double-regulate.

If it's a fixed-mounted tank then you can get an Extend-a-Stay. It not only allows you to hook up a propane tank to your rig in the event the fixed tank goes empty, it also has an unregulated port for things like your road trip grill (you have to buy the hose separately). This is how I use my Road Trip grill with my motorhome. It works great.

If it's not a fixed tank then you'd theoretically need something in between the RV's connection and the tank that will give you an unregulated feed. I've never done that and I don't know if such a thing exists. Smarter people than I will chime in I'm sure.
