I second this. It’s what I did. Remove the grills regulator. Buy quick connect fitting for grill. And the hose. All available on Amazon.

I figured that would work well for me.
Hope that lasts for more than 1 trip.

I agree with Jimbo56...

Sam's Club has this stainless steel tabletop grill for about the same price.
https://www.samsclub.com/p/members-m...l/prod22012872
I've been using one for three seasons now and it still looks new. I fully didn't expect the burners to last... they usually rust on cheaper grills. These are still perfect.

That said... a grill is a personal preference - depends on your style of camping/cooking.

Yep, that's a great grill if you could still get it. I bought one about 8 yreears ago but couldn't find one in stock when I needed to replace it. Plus you do have to convert it for low pressure use.

OP bought something but will add our 3 cents:


Went with Camp Chef 2 burner and the 1 burner size grill $123. Cabelas has the grill top for $59. Not too heavy, not too big or small, fast to set up, very hot if need be.

About 15 years ago i bought one called Olympic, all SS, looks a lot like the Sam's however it was about 150 or more then. Used the generator propane line for the grill on the Landmark 5th wheel

It still works fine and is used each trip today. Burners were a low grade SS

Wish they made a smaller Blackstone! We carry the 17 inch model but it’s bigger than we need for just the two of us and it takes up too much storage space in our class B. Still it’s the best darn “grill” we’ve ever carried.

Many never know what goes on unless you're seated by the grill

Some sear in a skillet, then grill

Narrowing your selection to what's ready to attach to the RV's low pressure system really limits your choices.

1 - Find a grill that YOU like with the features that YOU want - chances are it will use high pressure either in 1 lb cylinders or a 20 lb tank.
2 - See if there is an adapter kit that will convert the grill for use with the RV's low pressure quick connect. If not:
3 - Purchase/install a high pressure connector before the RV regulator to supply the selected grill. One like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N95Y7PD

If 3 is not an acceptable option for you, go back to step 1.
I found the adapter kit for the black stone on Amazon but my motorhome is not equipped with a quick connector of any kind . It looks like I can tie into the gas line fairly easy right in front of the regulator.My question is where can I buy the correct female quick connector that will work with the male end on the Blackstone or will any quarter inch connector work? Thanks

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/DOZYANT-Propa.../dp/B06Y3HTK8W

But if you're going to tie into the high pressure side with the adapter why use a disconnect? Just get an extension hose:
