North Ga Newbies looking for info

After several years in a popup (Coleman Bayside Elite) we have moved up to a 2014 Grey Wolf 26bh. We were looking for an exterior portable grill that can hook up to the gas line on the front corner of the trailer. Any recommendations on brands would be appreciated. Secondly, I am not a fan of screwing in a mounting plate to mount the grill. I have seen the bumper mounts, but would have to run a line the full length of the camper to supply it. Any thoughts or suggestions would be a big help. Also, are there any mods or cool tricks that we should know that would differ from Popup to travel trailer camping. We loved camping in the pup and look forward to more adventures in this TT.
Thanks in advance

Is it a low pressure quick release connection or is it directly to your tanks? Larry G.

I am not sure but I do not think it is. If not, I will convert it into one.

If you have a connection coming from the RV body that looks like the below connection, it's most likely a low pressure hose. With a low pressure feed, you cannot use a grill that has it's own pressure regulator (you can only have a single regulator in use). There are portable RV grills out there that are made for this type of connection. In my case, I wanted a grill with legs so I removed the pressure regulator from my grill and added a quick connect connection. If I need to use bottled gas, I can easily replace the hose with the pressure regulator. Hope this helps. Larry G.
