Gas line for the grill has very lower pressure
Anyone know how the gas line is routed to the aux port on the side of the camper? All three burners run fine together on the range. That makes me think it is not the regulator. The flame in the grill is low regardless of the setting I choose on the grill. I changed out grills with the same result.

A122s in case it matters.

Most likely it is the regulator on the grill that is cutting the pressure.
You need to have higher pressure for the grill.

Yep, you have 2 regulators. 1 on the camper by the tanks, and one on the grill. They are lowering the gas line pressure twice.

The gas port on the TT is low pressure ( reduced by the regulator at the tank. Unless the grill is designed to use a low pressure feed, it will not work. Most likely you have a grill designed to use high pressure ( small 1lb tank) that has a regulator in the line. As mentioned you are reducing the pressure twice.

In answer to your question. the gas line is routed under the camper. Follow the flex line from the regulator to the front of the undercarriage and trace it from there. It should be a copper tube within by a black plastic split cover of the kind that is used to bundle wires for computers or autos.
It may be crimped but more likely you need a tap to the bottle for your high regulated pressure grill.

Thank you all for the feedback. I started with the rvque that came with the camper. I changed to an inexpensive model designed for the 1lb cans.

The RVQ is low pressure and will work on the trailer's propane pigtail.
the one with the 1lb cylinders, is high pressure and will NOT work with the pigtail unless you do some modifications.

My Roo has the same problem.
Just tried the barbeque that came with mine, and had the same problem. I tried a two burner stove that doesn't have a regulator and it barely burns. If you come up with a solution, please let me know. It seems pretty silly to carry an extra propane tank just for outside cooking.

2 years ago I added a portable grill and plumbed the gas line in after the gas bottle regulator and got almost zero gas to the grill. After 3 or 4 trips to get all of the correct fittings I re-plumbed the grill line in the system before the regulator and wha laa....perfect gas pressure to the grill.

An update for those interested. Since we use the screenroom a lot, putting the grill on the low pressure line did not make sense. I got a hose and hook on to one of the tanks up front. I grill next to the hitch and everything works well.
