Gas grill questions

We have a brand new TT that has a propane connect underneath the body to use with a grill. Do I need a special hose? Will any portable grill work? Do I have to adapt anything? I really would like to be able to grill outside but truthfully I am scared I will not put it all together correctly,

  • I removed the regulator on my Weber Q and bought everything I needed including quick connect hose for under $40. My rig is equipped with two quick connects on the outside and they are different sizes. The larger one comes out under rear bumper for grill. The other near outside kitchen for stove. It is a great set up.
  • I use a LP hose with a LP quick disconnect and valve for my Camp Chef stove without a regulator. I tied in the hose to the low pressue system after the trailer's automatic changeover regulator. I leave the regulator that came with the stove, at home.

    Actually, my TC/TT has two sets of LP tanks so I have two automatic changeovr regulators and use the Truck Camper regulator for on the road use for the refrigerator and I use the trailer LP tanks to run everything once I get set up in camp. The Camp Chef stove is set up so it can run after either regulator. As long as your trailer regulator has the capacity (mosts will) you should have no problems.
  • I thnk the quick connects are somewhat standard. Camco sells the hose & the conversion. I had a short hose on my Jayco TT. I kept the grill & bought a Camco extender 10' hose. All the same. I bought my Camco hose from Amazon. Included the conversion valve for about $50. Check out the Camco catalog online.
  • Camping World sells exactly what you need, a grill without a regulator & a hose to attach it. Matching the male - female disconnect is the tricky part....
  • Most any grill can work, IF you bypass the regulator, and just let the low-pressure gas go to the grill. Most propane suppliers should be able to help you. You may have to order the mfgr specific connector for your grill from the grill mfgr, but if it's got almost ANY kind of threaded connection, then you should be able to connect to a low pressure hose.
  • Yes, no, yes.
    A typical gas grill uses high pressuregas. The regulator drops the gas to low pressure. You would have to first have the correct connector, then a hose, then connect the hose to the place the regulator mounts to the burner tube. It is not really practical. RVQ sold most of the converted grills but went out of business several years ago due to extremely poor quality and even worse performance.
