Low Pressure Gas stove... suggestions please?

New 5er, learning all the "little" things now and raising more questions than I can get answered. Second camping weekend with it and discovering all little hidden things about it.

For example, I just discovered this morning it DOES have a low pressure quick disconnect for an outside stove or grill. My previous Outback TT had the outside stove with the quick disconnect. No extra pressure regulator required. We used it a lot. And after camping 2 week-ends with the new 5er, realize how much we miss the outside stove.

So, considering the new camper has the outside quick disconnect, I've been searching the internet and watching YouTube videos, and even searched these forums and can't find any specifics about which stove would work well with this set up. So thought I'd just go ahead and bounce it around here.

We are not looking for a BBQ grill. We are looking for a stove. 2 or 3 or 4 burner. It must be a low pressure and should have the quick disconnect gas hose (or I suppose I can add an extension to make the hose longer). I did find the quick disconnect 3 and 4 foot extension hose.

So, I'm tossing it out to the forum members... If you have a 2, 3, or 4 burner outside low pressure gas stove that you use with your RV quick disconnect, what kind of stove (brand and model) are you using. And it might help if added where you got it from.

Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    The road trip grill has a low pressure regulator set to the standard 11"wc, a coleman stove has a high pressure regulator set to 15psi.

    This implies the operating pressure of the grill is 'low pressure' and the stove is regulated high pressure.

    plenty of camp chefs operate @ regulated low pressure, not their mountain series!
    as suggested on their rv connection hose accessory.

    It appears to me that in this video they are replacing a 5430 regulator on a Coleman Roadtrip to a low pressure quick connect. Watch the Converta C video.

    Should work with other products regulated by a 5430.


    On EDIT!!!!
    Found this that does same thing but says only for Road Trip.

    Maybe you can't use this for other Coleman stoves :(

    Dutchmen.....get a Campchef.

    I have been using the 3 burner Expedition for about 5 years....awesome. Especially if you get the steel griddle for cooking breakfast.

    Its not cheap, and a little on the heavy side but the 30K btu burners are awesome.

    Thanks everyone. This makes it a lot easier! I didn't realize pretty much any kind will work, just don't use the included regulator. Thanks! Guess what I'm searching for tomorrow after work? Dicks Sporting Good, Cabelas, The new Gander Mountain, and even WalMart! Well, not all in one day. It will be 2 week ends before we take the camper out again. I do drive right by Dicks and Cabalas on my way to and from work every day and WalMart is just down the road from my office.

    Jay_Pat, this is very much the kind we are looking for! Thanks for the tip.

    Just remove the camp stoves regulator and rig up the connection to connect directly to your RV. Your RV is using it's regulator to control the pressure.

    Any gas stove out there is technically "low pressure"... They just all come with their own regulators so you can connect them to those little 1 lb cylinders or any 20 lb or larger cylinders..

    Good luck!

    Basically any stove with a regulator you can remove/bypass will work. If the controls and regulator are built into a single doohicky that also attaches to the propane can or cylinder, you're out of luck. I think most multi-burner stoves or grills would be more or less straightforward to convert (depending on how accessible the regulator is, and how it connects to the rest of the unit).

    This works on both, my Blackstone griddle and Coleman propane stove. You just don't use their regulator. I think it should work for most regulated stoves.

    I believe any propane camping stove would work. You might have to get a special hose to hook up to your trailer.
