Coleman Roadtrip problem UPDATE
I have a 10 year old Roadtrip grill. It has worked fine all there years. Now, when I first light it it has a strong blue flame, but after 5 minutes or so the flame dies somewhat and has a lot of yel...

We had a Roadtrip grill for 3 or 4 seasons and it always did the same thing even when new. We have propane via a quick connect and the TT's LP system. Replaced the regulator for an un-related reason with a quality one and the flame still burned yellow. We have a larger 3/8" dia. propane hose instead of a 1/4" one which I think is commonly used. Too low a pressure after the regulator (as in being faulty) is likely not the cause.
The Roadtrip still worked okay for us with the yellow-ish flame. I'm pretty sure the cause is that the Coleman grill needs a slightly higher pressure than an RV's LP system can provide. A yellow-ish flame indicates improper air/fuel mixture. Have you checked to see if you have a blocked orifice or burner tube? I assume you removed the original Coleman regulator. If it used to work okay for you, replace the parts? If you're at higher elevations you can have inadequate fuel mixture.
We got rid of our Roadtrip last season for a number of things we didn't like about it and replaced it with a Weber Q and it also has a yellow-ish flame and puts out even less heat than the Roadtrip.
