outdoor gas grill or gas heater hookup 1/2" male quick release hookup on thor vegas

If there's a local propane distributor near you they should have any/all fittings needed to plumb into wherever you'd like to have it whether before or after the rv regulator, & be much cheaper than a rv supply store.

I'm bumping this thread to say thanks to all who contributed. My wife and I have been banging our heads together trying to figure this issue out. On the Miramar we have a quick connect underneath our outside kitchen and we have a Coleman Roadtrip LXE grille that we couldn't figure out how to connect. The Miramar was supposed to come with an outside grill, but none of the units on the lot at CW had one. So they made it up to us by giving us a Coleman grill in it's place.

This thread crystalized something really important. That instead of looking for a quick connect to Coleman fitting I need to eliminate the regulator from the grill if I want to use it with the Miramar's propane supply.

Yup- you can not use two regulators in series. The gas line coming from the RV is past the regulator on my Thor Vegas, so you need to find a grill that you can bypass or remove the regulator.
I got this grill:

Works great with a gas hose that has a 1/4" male quick connect to a female (i think 1/2") threaded connector.

I also got a big buddy space heater as it has a direct connect propane attachment. You need a 1/4" male quick connect from the RV to a female 1/2" quick connect hose to the space heater. I had to order an adapter for the 1/2" quick connect but it should work out well.

Anyways, the lesson is that if you want to use a propane appliance you can only have 1 regulator.

After looking at the instruction booklet, our 9406 Series Coleman Roadtrip X-Cursion has a regulator that is built right into the burners. I don't see a way to easily remove the regulator as with some of the other Coleman Roadtrip models where you have to screw it on the back of it.

If the regulator is built in then there is no safe way to bypass the regulator. It took me a long time to find a grill that did not have a built in regulator. The one i posted works very well and is around the same price as the coleman road trip.

I use this for a portable “lil campfire”. Was told it would never work by rv store and Lowe’s plumbing, but it does. It works a little better without the regulator that came with it. I really enjoy sitting by the fire and not having to dodge smoke. The rv tanks last a very long time and so much cheaper than carrying wood.
