Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Connecting gas grill onto RV propane tank


See our post

http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=91511&p=3&topicID=10773852

regarding the grill we bought to use with our RV.

When we picked up our new RV this weekend, there were lots of different opinions at the service dept. on how to hook up this type of gas grill.  Even though it uses a standard propane pig, the fitting on the bottom of grill wasn't what they expected. Because of that it created problems and we never did get it working right.

What we ended up doing was installing a 'T' for the grill line between the propane shutoff on the motorhome and the motorhome regulator, then ran hose from the 'T' to the grill with an inline regulator on that line.

With this set up we are only getting really low flame at the grill.

Do we need the inline regulator on the line to the grill? Would direct pressure from tank be too much?

Any suggestions?

It sounds like you don't need the inline regulator. The motor home regulator should be reducing the pressure. Why don't you remove it and hook up the hose directly to the tee. Carefully, see how the grill operates.

Ken and Cindy,

I don't have an answer to your grill question but I just had to say "congratulations on your new RV!" Picking it up this weekend must have been so exciting   I hope you get many, many years of enjoyment out of it.

Ken & Cindy, yes the propane from your tanks without any regulator would be to much pressure for your new grill to handle, it would be very dangerous,  please be careful.  As for what your problem may be, dont overlook some simple things, such as valves open? propane in tank(s)? If that looks ok then you may have a bad regulator at the grill or some sort of blockage in the line or at the burner tube entrance.  Good luck and be careful.

Our RV was pipe for use of a grill. It is after the regulator so I would say if you have no regulator on the grill and tube in after the regulator on the rv you should be good to go
