Just bought a new travel trailer and I find that the quick disconnect for the outdoor BBQ is stubbed out in the back of the wheel well subject to possible extreme damage in the case of a blow out. 
I know some would say to travel with the tanks shut off and there would be no problem, but that is not what I do....  I think that the best solution is to remove it and cap it off.
Just seems like a strange thing for a manufacture to do based on the history of trailer tires.
Any thoughts on this situation out there.

Cap it off permanently and use a  separate 5 gal. propane tank. Blow outs / defective tires are going to happen to every RVer  sooner or later. 2 of my tire blow outs did about $1200 damage each time:(
