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!!
I just wanted to verify that my understanding from an earlier related thread is correct.
When we bought our New Horizons; I had them run a quick disconnect for a gas grill to the curb side.d Looking at my propane arrangement; I have two tanks with the associated switchover valve and a regulalator. From there the line branches directly to the quick disconnect as well as into the kitchen for the cooktop and water heater.
I do not see another regulator under the sink or stove area…so I'm guessing that the regulator at the tank is doing all the pressure reduction needed and all I need to do is buy whatever gas grill we want, disconnect the attached hose/regulator that normally hooks up to the tank, and attach a long hose with a quick disconnect male connector.
Then plug this directly into the quick disconnect and burn meat, right? Any other modifications I need to make to the grill itself, I'm guessing not since it will come with the appropriate orifice and setup for propane from a tank and the fact that the regulator is on the rig rather than directly on the small tank should not matter.
you are correct!!!!!.......just make sure you are after the regulator assembly........house pressure and BBQ should be between 10 - 12 WC...propane is not measured by pounds in the output, it is measured by Water column......not some thing you should have to worry about.
Please during Retro-fitting make sure all connections you make are soap tested for leaks.

What Mike said is correct.....with the exception that if the grill is designed for the green bottles then it has in inbuild regulator that has to be removed. You can not have two regulators inline.
Your evaluation of your coach is correct. You have a low pressure line after the bottles. You can tap that anywhere if you need to add another device that uses regulated gas.
