Using Weber 120 with RV Propoane
My RVQ is getting a little worn and I have a Weber 120Q in the basement that I could easily use. However, I refuse to use those green bottles. We camp every weekend and I use the BBQ everynight so u...

I've been using my converted Q-120 for years on two different trailers...no issues.
You can get all the supplies and the hoses you might need here:

The low pressure quick connects are the 250 model (Usually Sturgis). There are many quick connects out there; LP high pressure, NG low, NG high, air, etc., and while they all look the same, in order to flow the proper amount of LP and not leak you need to use the 250 version. Also, be aware that you need to use a thread sealant approved for gas; tape will be yellow, paste will specify on the can. Any other type will eventually fail. Most of us have the white teflon water type laying around and the temptation is to use that...don't.
Here's what the final mod will look like:
Yours can be neater...I had a bunch of adapters and stuff laying around, so, I just used them up, but, basically, you remove the regulator (don't throw it away) and put the male quick connect adapter in its place. You'll need a hose:
I carry several; a 4', 2 x 10', and 2 x 12'. I also have a Campfire-in-a-Can and with a "T" I made, I can use both at the same time, that's why I have so many hoses.
Now, remember I told you not to throw away the regulator? I've found a couple of instances where I wanted to use the grill away from the trailer...but, I converted it for use on the trailer. Dilemma. Take your regulator and put a female quick connect on it (1/8" size for that) and you get this:
I have one that will fit the 1 lb. cans (that's the one that came off the grill). Turns out that I had a spare fitting for the 5-up lb. tanks just laying around, so, I adapted it also. Now I can put any of those regulators on the grill or my Campfire-in-a-Can, using the 4' hose, and put the tank anywhere that is convenient to use the grill away from the trailer. Take it on a picnic while traveling, use it on the deck along with my big grill for parties. Best of both worlds and just one dynamite little grill.
