2015 Wildcat 32ck external propane connection

Hi, does anyone know if there is an external propane connection for grills, firepits, etc? I looked around on the unit and could not find one. Thanks in advance.

The low pressure propane quick connect on my 2015 Wildcat 295RSX is under the left edge of my entry steps.... not easy to see from the standing position. Mine has a yellow rubber plug in it.


Look under the unit and find 1"(+?) thick metal black pipe and follow all of them. The quick connect will probably be on one of these larger pipes and probably on the curb side.

The quick connect on our 2017 Wildcat is on the passenger (curb) side behind the wheels. It has a blue cover.

Ours was located on the right side directly below the propane bottle. I re-plumbed it so it is right in front of our entry steps which makes it much more convenient.

I had always smelled a slight propane odor near that bottle but could never find any leaks. Then when I found the quick connect I saw it has a ball valve incorporated into it and that ball valve was in the on position. I closed it and NO more propane odor.

I just bought a 2017 Wildcat fifth wheel and mine is covered and under a foot of snow now is well and I'm hoping my Wildcat has a propane quick connect as well. I installed a propane T-connector directly to my propane tank on my last RV, that I planned to install on my Wildcat before our first camping trip in May. This T-connector installs easily with no tools, but then I would now have find a way to route the rubber propane hose out of the propane compartment.
Currently in NY we have a -30F wind chill advisory and winter storm warning with a predicted 12" more snow on the way, so I definitely won't be looking for the propane connection today! 😉

Hi all, I found my connection beside the entry steps as Mr Dan noted in his reply and picture above.

Thanks all for you tips.
