Do I have to say goodbye to my outside stove?

We always cook outside when we are out in the PU. We are now upgrading to a HTT, and I see there is no longer any such thing as an outside mounted stove. (only the RVQ).
The HTT we are buying has a mounting strip and hookup for the grill it provides, but we want a stove. If I buy a camp stove, is there a way to hook it up to the existing gas hookup outside? Do I need some sort of a gas adapter to make it work?
We realize we won't probably find a stove to hang from the side of the camper, but would really like to be able to use the existing gas hookup and not have to carry yet another propane tank! (or those little green ones).

  • We hate cooking inside also. We have a Sidekick which came with the RV which doesn't get extremely hot so is perfect for pancakes, hotdogs etc. We don't cook anything 'spattery' on it.
    On a separate table at the edge of the awning we have a camp stove for 'messier' cooking when we don't have a fire going.
    Yes, the separate gas bottles are a PITA, and if we could find an adapter for the stove we'd hook it up to the RV gas, but it's better than nothing.
  • I have a mini version of a Home type BBQ grill. It stands on 4 removable legs and I use a 1 pound propane tank to feed it. I use it not only to grill foods but also cook using pans and pots on it. The legs bring it up to waist high.

    I am almost in the same boat as you. But my Hybrid doesn't have any brackets for a grill. I am thinking of making a bumper mounted grill/stove bracket, adding my own quick connect, getting a grill that operates on the low pressure system of the camper, and getting a two burner camper stove and making a box for it to mount on the bumper bracket. Sounds like a lot of work, but I HATE cooking inside.


    do a forum search on mounted BBQ.. Someone did just that and did a real nice job. It swung out when needed and then back in place for traveling.
  • I have a foldup table, 20lb tank, "T" fitting and 2 propane lines that go to my camp stove and BBQ.....I dont like the idea of having all that heat right next to a camper, so I can set this up away from it. I even had this setup with my popup which had the external stove. It was just to close to everything for me. Maybe I am just too paranoid...lol
