We have similar, just the 22 inch. The 12 foot hose is long enough to keep grease splatter off the rig. We have the fitting on the blackstone which removes the regulator, but we still carry the regulator in case we need it.

We have the legs, good investment. We have the soft cover. Works great. We have the hard lid also but never used it or mounted it.

I keep my regulator for it stored in a safe place where I actually can find it...
After all: you never know when an opportunity for outdoors pancakes and bacon is going to happen!

Just completed adding an exterior propane outlet.
I placed a splitter under the stove-top and then ran a hose thru the floor.

Here’s the final install with a photo of the Blackstone hose with Quick-Connegt fittings.

It was a challenge sourcing the proper fittings for this project.
It works great with no leaks.

Looking to get the Faulkner low pressure grill that was in the link someone sent earlier with the Aussie in it. It's specifically setup to work with onboard propane. No conversion needed, just a quick connect which we already have.

Nicely done. Simple and elegant. I put my “tee” on the tanks regulator and run my hose from there. But I like your solution better.

Converted WeberQ 1200

Posted this in another reply....here's result of WebberQ 1200 after converting with the converter kit (around $70) [easy to convert following youtube directions].
Here I'm using 2 of the griddle accessories (it comes with 2 regular grill grates). However, they designed the griddle to use only one with a grate. In order to use to griddles you must grind the inside tabs off on one of the griddles or one will slant (good luck putting cracking eggs on a slanted griddle!). [note in pic one of the griddles has tabs removed-left one]
Here is our breakfast with converted grill connected to RV using 2 griddles - which we find using most of the time (except for chicken burgers or steak).

Hi there, sorry if it sounds dumb but I really need a good advice

I've heard a lot of good stuff about Primo but so I've heard about Traeger and Weber
I'm trying to read grill reviews (like this one), but they lack personal experience

Could you please help me choose? I'm not sure whether it's better to buy gas, charcoal or electric grill...

The budget is around $1000 but less is better

Thanks!

I use charcoal bbq grill and blackstone griddle. Been thinking about only using the blackstone for everything

I've tried 2 grills so far and they are not getting propane, both do have the regulators on the grill, after reading your post, I have to get a hose that eliminates the grill regulators for it to work?

You'll need an adapter to replace the regulator.

FYI: Propane coming directly from your RV is Low Pressure and must not have a regulator on the appliance
You only use a regulator when you are receiving High Pressure directly from a 5 gal portable propane tank

So for your propane grill or propane fire pit, if you are choosing to connect into your external RV propane Low Pressure fitting...you need only a hose with proper connections. No regulator.

We're interested in installing a hookup like this - we have a 2017 25.5 Vegas with no external propane hookup.

What gas fittings and cover plate did you find to use?

Might be easier to go with a pre-regulator adapter like this:



https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N95Y7PD/

Then you can use any high pressure propane appliance without modification.

I assume you want a connector on the passenger side like OEM.
My 24.1 has the cooktop on the passenger side
So I put a “T” in the line where the main comes into the cooktop (see photo)
Then I ran a propane rubber hose line with female on both ends thru the floor (get at any hardware store). Then out the side.
Silicone’d around all the openings as needed.

The side cover plate was on Amazon, there are many to choose from.
Also, you’ll need a quick disconnect fitting as well.

Here’s my photos…

As Bob said above the 17" Blackstone works perfect, fits nicely in the side compartments, and an external hose that hooks up to the RV works great. They also have a cool carrying case.
