RVs With External Gas Hookup

What current-year model RVs have that outside gas connector for a BBQ grill? I've Googled the thing, but all I get are links about the grills themselves.

Or the outdoor kitchen? My wife likes the idea of frying fish OUTSIDE of the RV.
  • the hard gas line on my TT running to the water heater has a capped off stub heading outboard to the door side of the TT. Would be trivial to add a quick disconnect, suspect it was an option and they prep for it. If you go looking, might want to check...
  • My Outback has the outside drop-down stove and sink. There is a hose attached to the stove that connects under the camper with a quick disconnect. Very easy to connect or disconnect. However, we very seldom use the gas stove, but do on occasion for boiling water for spaghetti or pastas because we almost always cook on the picnic table with a flat electric griddle or an electric skillet. We never cook inside the camper unless it's raining and blowing everywhere, even in the winter.

    Go to WallMart and pick up a flat electric griddle for less than $29.00 and plug in to the campground electric post with a separate extension cord so you are not drawing power through the actual camper. This works for us and been doing it this way for over 30 years.

    Then you can cook all the fish you want outside! An electric skillet will give you the ability to deep-fry too, without having to buy a deep fryer. Fill half with oil and toss in the the fish or French Fries or whatever. When the oil cools, pour back into the bottle to be used for the next time you deep fry something. Simple and works very, very well. All done outside. No smells inside the camper.
