Thor added them on the 2020 Palazzo and Aria. Not avail on 2019.

But I bet that it would be an easy item to install on the prior year's RV...

Depends on where they installed the LP tank. If it's on the passenger side it wouldn't be too difficult. If on the driver's side then it would take some line running thru storage compartments. The long runs on my 2015 Challenger were what appeared to be galvanized pipe. Not sure what they are using now.

The 2020 Aria, if I remember correctly has the LP tank on the passenger's side rear and the LP quick connect on the ceiling of that compartment. The problem was Thor didn't put an access in the bottom of the compartment to run an LP hose through so you would have to keep the storage compartment door opened for use. I was surprised when I saw a floor in the LP compartment. Non of my prior motor homes had a floor in the LP compartment and nor does the Accolade.

Interesting that you mentioned the floor in the LP compartment. Our 2019 Aria 4000 doesn't have one but the framework would easily support one. We've considered this to keep the tank clean-something it is not, right now because it picks up road grime continually.
Thanks,
GVP

They might not have put a floor in there for safety purposes...
If something really ugly happened: it's better to let it go: than to bottle it all into one confined area.

Or just use a long hose when you want to use the grill.

Or if you need to put an access port in the floor of a compartment: that's an easy fix, and there are lots of different doors available for that purpose.

Weber Q grill mod

Dave, do you have any pictures you could post, or a parts list needed to make the mod to a Weber Q grill? I have a Q 1200 and would like to modify it to attach to my RV exterior LP connection.
Thanks in advance, Mark...

Here is the thread I started on the conversion. I have a list of parts and links to the parts on Amazon on post 22.

Great thread, I have the quick connect but I an not sure where the ball valve is located. I bought my unit used and it seems I don't have all the manuals. Anybody have any suggestions?? I have a Windsport 29M. Also, I think the guy at Camping World mentioned above has moved to General RV in Tampa

Eventually I will hook run a line on my 207 ACE to the passenger side so that I don't have to pack a portable propane tank.
